Little Boy

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 fluff
milkweed pod, and blew out all the "filler."

A bird's nest in a tree over head,
so wisely placed on 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 of 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"
