Ol' B B been around the block a time or two. He know a bit 'bout life, love and what else they is thats important. Folks hears me talk, they knows I ain't educated. Ain't hard to tell that Ol' B B been raised on the poor side of the tracks. But it don't take no Herford education to figure whats important in this here world. And don't take no Sanford degree for a feller to tell right from wrong. Right there is where the mule's hoof hits the corn row. We got important folk runnin round these days with great big educated degrees, what don't know right from wrong. Theys big company presidents what thinks nothin but dollar signs.
The common man sees things a bit different. Wokin folk, wearin blue collars, and drivin ten year old chevys, thems the ones what knows whats real. Theys got mortgages, and bills and problems. Men what got wives and kids theys got to feed and educate. They helps the neighbor, they takes care of family and they gives thanks for the blessings they got. They goes to bed under the same roof ever night, with the same woman, and prays to the same almighty ever night. They knows love, repect and courage. Thats the important stuff.
Today's thought comes from a fine American name of Mark Twain: " I am a great and sublime fool. But then I am God’s fool, and all His work must be contemplated with respect."
