Where God Ain't

 He was just a little boy, on a week's first day.
 He was wandering home from Sunday School, and dawdling on the way.

 He scuffed his shoes into the grass; He 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 place on 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 wiggley worm replying, "I've learned a lot of God."

 "M'm..very fine," 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!"
