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 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.
He 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 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."
