Ain't

He was just a little boy, On a week's first day.

Wandering home from Bible school, And dawdling all 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 o'erhead, So wisely placed 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 can 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!'
