"AIN'T"

He was 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.'


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 zigzag 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.'
