I Hear’d It

Jasper stood at 5 feet 8 inches with his long, bony, 89 year old pointer finger aimed right at the group of youngsters and said, “It sin. The music!”, in the deepest of southern Baptist drawls. His four sons stood nodding, agreeing behind him. Tyrone, Thomas, Timothy and Terrence were each over six feet tall. Their horses were saddled and grazing over yonder. One each white, black, pale and spotted. Jasper’s horse was brown. The youngsters answered Jasper. “Yeah we know.”. They turned and walked away asking each other why that old man keeps telling them, “It’s in the music.”.
