You Can’t Take It with You

Life ain’t nothing but a drama, a never ending saga. Seems like somebody up there in them clouds is laughing and playing a joke on some of us. Or maybe we jus playing’ jokes on ourselves!

Everything I lived for, was the very thing that killed me. Ain’t it funny how many different endings life will bring? How some people die peacefully in they sleep, and other folks die in a hospital or nursing home all by theyselves?

Why? Seems nothing is really important when you laying in the ground beneath all that cold dirt. Material possessions ain’t really important. And money sho’ll nuff ain’t important cause you can’t take it with you!

In the end all you got is love. Because love is the last thing you gonna think about and the last thing you gonna feel (trust me I know!). Somebody up there must have been laughing pretty hard, and was playing’ a cruel joke on me, and my Pearl.

I remember looking’ at my baby all dressed up in her wedding gown. She was wearing a white wedding gown. I made her wait. Just so she could wear that fine white wedding dress. Ohhh! She looked so pretty! Furthermore, she would have looked absolutely beautiful if it wasn’t for that sad look in her eyes.

Most girls cry on they wedding day. But that wasn’t why my Pearl was looking so sad. She wanted to marry that boy. That boyfriend she had since she was sixteen. But you know what I told her?

"If you marry that low class bum I will tear you to pieces! You ain’t welcome in my house, and I won’t never see your kids!"

That sure got rid of that boy real quick. They got outta high school and thought they was gonna get married. But my Pearl likes to please her mama, so she did just like I asked her to. She gave that boy back his jacket, and his class ring, and told him to hit the dirt! She came home looking so sad too. Just like she do today. I’m gonna have a talk with my Pearl and tell her not to drop one tear on her face. All that’s gon do is smear her makeup. And I don’t want her brand new husband to raise that veil and look into no sad eyes and smeared eye liner! Oh no! That won’t do! Cause if it was me I wouldn’t wanna marry no sad looking woman. A sad, ungrateful woman. She ought to be glad she marrying Richard. He’s a famous basketball player and he’s on TV all the time. He got plenty of money to take care of her and give her everything she need. Oh that’s right! He come from an af-fluent family. They RICH! And I want my baby to be well taken care of when she leave my house. So you know what I did? I walked right up to Pearl and I told her,

"Wipe that look off your face and get it together honey.
