Ain't


He was just a little boy,

on a week's first day.

Wandering home from Sunday School,

and dawdling on the way.

He scuffed his shoes into the grass;

he even found a caterpillar.

He found a fluffy milkweed pod,

and blew out all the "filler."

A bird's nest in a tree overhead,

so wisely placed up so high.

Was just another wonder,

that caught his eager eye.

A neighbor watched his zig zag course,

and hailed him from the lawn;

Asked him where he'd been that day

and what was going on.

"I've been to Bible School ," he said

and turned a piece of sod.

He picked up a wiggly worm replying,

"I've learned a lot about God."

"M'm very fine way," the neighbor said,

"for a boy to spend his time."

"If you'll tell me where God is,

I'll give you a brand new dime."

Quick as a flash the answer came!

Nor were his accents faint.

"I'll give you a dollar , Mister,

if you can tell me where God ain't."
