Ah1OT1 . hE T. OA " MIA L
NIGHT: 1t is a matter of under
standing, which is something that
everyone Of Aine Haggar's Chillun
knows was put above knowledge by
;aid somethin lack Wisdom is the
principal thing but with all your
lifting be show to git some under
landing, and because Aine Hag-
airs Chillun gifts all messed up
Mostly of the times trying to un-
,ipher what Solomon, or who ever
he was, was doing when he got
Wisdom and Understanding all
mixed up in the other words, they
kin be subject to lotta mistakes
that you can't 'zackerly blame 'um
fur. I got to thinkin long them
lines when | heard some of Aine
Haggar's Chillun talllin bout where
they had done read in the paper
where dem scholars says that the
"Middle Glass" of Aine Haggar's
Chillun amt doing muffin for de
Masses" of the members of the
Tribe, somethin what | overheard
while | was eatin ma fish and
drinkin Ma beer, which some folks
say gifts Aine Haggar's Chillun
down here in the Ole Magnolia
bout close to heben as dey'll ever
git . What made me start think
in bout Wisdom and Understandin,
after | heard what some of the
members the tribe was saying
bout what dem scholars had done
said, was that from looking at it
from down on Parish Street, US
amt got no middle class" for the
simple reason that US wisdom and
understandin goes from top to bot
tom and jess naturally don't stop
in no middle" no where . Look
at us all the folks what's got the
real moneys got to git them little
cars oft to the side which means
SIGH folks as the folks that owns
the banks, the big stores, and the
factories, while Aine Haggar's
Chillun rides by in dc Fish-talc
Cadillac which amt no sign
that .deys got no regular money,
but that theys jess gone to being
where's lotta money passing, and
can change a quarter regular and
don't be hungry rat often lack they
used to be before they go so they
could change quarter regular
Nav, from what | can see
from Up and Down Parish Street,
and from the way | hyar Aine
Haggar's Chillun talkin dem schol-
lars dat writ-up that bout de
Middle Glass" of the TRIBE amt
doing muffin to help the masses"
of the brothers and sisters, got the
wisdom but amt got no under
standin, what's show-nuff wrong is
date we, (Us Aine Haggars Chill
luns) amt got no middle class"
we amt got muffin but bottom and
top and all them that aint at the
top dey thinks they is =.
SOMETHING THAT MADE
Me LAFF: That story that | heard
some folks telling about how
Brother Jackson was sliding around
the corner of his house without
Citing off balance when his wife,
Willie, Mae greeted his knock at
the front door with six shots from
her Smith & Wesson.

ing success.
