WHERE GOD 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 was his voice faint.
"I'll give you a dollar, Mister, If you can tell me where God ain't."
