the kettle black, thing that was
running across my mind while I
was settin' down eating my fish
and drinking my beer, wondering
about and listening to some of
Aine Haggar's Chillun, gathered
around their favorite spots talk
ing about the only thing that we
seems to be able to talk about
nowadays, us and de whyfolks.
and from what / heard 'em saying
we is still taking all us time throw
ing stones at and blaming de why
folks til its done come to the place
if you stop long enough to hear
US talk that Aine Haggar's Chill
lun done come to be angels and
all they got to do is sprout out
the wings since us heads up the
Bible reading clan, according to
one notion that we holds onto In
spite of everything, what made
me wonder at what I heard while
!, was eating my fish and drinking
my beer was do we ever stop to
think whilst throwing stones at
and blaming de whyfolks that one
of the best things that the Bible
has to say is DO UNTO OTHERS
AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM
DO UNTO YOU something
what have been trying to change
around some-kinda-way for the
benefit of ME and the other men,
bers of the tribe to git over the
idea that added to what the Bible
says YOU DO UNTO YOUR SELF
AND TO ONE ANOTHER LACK
YOU WANNA BE DONE BY
OTHER FOLKS cause it looks
lack what dey calls logic to me
that when other folks sees you
doing to yourself and yours lack
you wanna be done by first they
then will start figuring out that
you knows what the Bible means
when it says DO UNTO OTHERS
AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM
DO UNTO YOU ~. and start
doing unto you lack you do unto
yourself and yours =. as one Ole
Tyne Parish Streeter said as we
hit on the subject while he was
ceptin my Satdee night hospertali-
tee we amt gonna be able to git
nowhere from here on-out til we
kin see and understand more o.
what the Bible says, and what de
Ole folks meant when dey used to
say the pot can't call the kettle
black
