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 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 were his accents faint.
'I'll give you a dollar, Mister,
If you can tell me where God ain't.'

Aint aint a word, so dont say aint.

Termination for Cause

Sir,
I had thought the terms of our agreement
Were quite clear.
You were to provide me length of days,
Model children by a docile wife, support for same;
Keep far away all disaster man-made
Or act of your own.
And a death if not quite painless
At least sudden, without humiliation.
I in turn would confess You Creator
Of all things seen and unseen, offering customary
Praise and adoration.
Regarding line four above
Your performance has been marginal at best,
And I have now confirmation
From two physicians
Of what I must deem willful disregard
As to length of days and dying.
I therefore recognize no further obligation whatsoever
To provide the aforesaid praise, etc.
Or, indeed, to acknowledge Your existence.
Any further communication should be directed
To my counsel,
Who assures me that he knows You
from of old.
James F. O’Callaghan

What Bible was he studying?

It sure sounds like he was studying pantheism to me.

Don't tell Feral that God's in the rocks or she'll start gigglesnorting.

No.. They had been studying the true story of the 10 commandments in the book of Exodus... (American King James Version)


Exodus 31:18
18 And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him on mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Th' way I understand it is; The little feller was trying to find a rock that GOD had written on, for show'n'tell the next day...

...Any further communication should be directed
To my counsel,
Who assures me that he knows You
from of old.



So..... That would be satan ...right?

IS TOO!

It's right here in front of me .. A-I-N apostro-fee -T! ...AIN'T See? Big as life and twice as real...

Well, since Christians don't believe that animals have spirit then clearly God isn't in the animals.

Looks like the kid lost his buck.

I'm just saying that to claim that God is omniscient is to agree with the Pantheistic view.

To disagree with Pantheism is to agree that there are a LOT of places were God ain't.

Maybe I'm missing the point of the poem?

I'm just saying that it sounds like Pantheism to me.

That's all I know.

That has always been my interpretation of it.
