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."

"Mm 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."
