going on around you that'll always
attract your attention, which is
What I've learn from settin down
Eating my feesh and drinking my
beer, and | suspect that there is
some other places and situations
where your mind amt always on
what is going on around you, or
maybe it'll be better for me to say
it lack my Grandma used to tell
me when reminding me to keep my
mind on what was doing as she
would always say when l would be
churning the milk or freezing the
ice cream when she caught me
looking off into space, Boy, Keep
Your mind on What You're Doing
This is what l couldn't help
thinking about when l set down to
ny fish and beer, and thought
about the folks l know that's been
killed and manned in automobile
accidents, and which lead me to put
something down here about what |
thought my grandma would say to
them that left who amt been MAIN
ed and broken up or killed in an
automobile accident. of course
grandma would say nothing to
you about what you got in you
while you driving your automobile,
not liking the stuff at all | suspect
if you got manned or killed while
full of something like that all she'd
say would've been, Well, That's
what aughta happenerd to EN- .
But | amt talking about nothing
what's in you, cause it's to many
folks Citing maimed-up and killed
for all of'em to be full of something
outside of what's on their minds
| | heard where the folks say
what knows that more folks done
got killed in automobiles, here
lately, than was killed in the last
two wars, and as | said, because it
came up on me while | was eating
my fish and drinking my beer, and
| couldn't git it off my mind, /
though I'd say to you'alls here this
week, that whilst you driving you
automobiles, if you don't want to
git maimed-up, which means if
you don't want to get your arm,
neck, leg, or back broke, and if
you don't want to git killed, |
means dead, you getter do like
Grandma used to tell me when she
would say, Boy, Keep your Mind on
What You're Doing.

SOC hat on his head.
