Ain't

[Judy Harder]

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.'


Have a great day!
