    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." :)
