dem soroarrity pins on one night
round at the Mill & Oakley, they
amt got no kinda educsahune whats
equal to what you gifts when you
grayouwaits from the University
of -the-world, which as he told the
two young ladies holds its classes
up and down Parish Street, or
whatever street you wanna name
in any town where folks git to-
gether, l thought about this time
Pm alking about while l was set
ting down eating my fish and
drinking my beer and watching
and listening while a crowd of
Aine Haggar's Chillun, that you
find up and down the Ole Avenue
jess any Satdee mite was connecting
on and rejecting a lotta the ad-
vice that Aine Haggar's Chillun is
been given by them what done
took over the business of leading
the tribe here-lately and
while l was watching and listen
ing / heard one of them fellows
who l could see didn't have no
kinds diploma cepten what he got
from the University-of the World,
come up with a breath of wisdom
that'sa whole lot too cimple for
dem college fessors to use, and
what / hadn't heard before since
| used to hear my grandma say
the same thing back yonder when
| was boy, and jes sto keep the
record straight grandma, who was
born befo surrender as she used
to say, got her diploma from the
University of the World, cause
there wasn't no college that she
could make it to when she was
dat age the conversation what
Pm lluding to was about dis here
and dat there speech that some of
us leaders is making, while at the
same time aiming at Citing fur
Their up the road, tho the only way
to git further-up-the-road is to get
some help from the folks what got
what it takes to help US git fur
her-up-the-road, what made me go
back agin to the saying of my
grandma, and to what my friend
Glover Moore said about gradyou-
waiting from the University-of-
the World, where he says you gifts
lotta real hard sense was when
one fellow ups and says, Yeah,
us show is got freedom of the
speech, and US can read and write
and say anything us wanna, but
some of us leaders better wake up
and rail-lize dat you kin ketch
more flies wild honey dan you
kin ketch with vinegar -.
