AIN'T
Hewas just a little boy, On a week's first day. Wandering home
from Bible 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.'
Abird's nest in a tree overhead, So wisely placed up so high. Was
just another wonder, That caught his eager eye.
Aneighbor 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 neighborsaid, '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 flashthe answer came! Nor were his accents faint. 'I'll give you a
dollar, Mister, If you can tell me where God ain't.'
