A Boy’s Meditation

My Daddy thinks it’s nice for me to go to Sunday school
To hear the helpful lessons and to learn the Golden Rule.

And if some Sunday morning something else I’d like to do,
My Dad looks very stern and says, “I am surprised at you.”

So I dress very neatly and I travel off alone
While Daddy hunts the paper and decides he’ll stay at home.

Now I have often wondered yes, time and time again.
Why Sunday school’s so good for boys and not for grown-up
men.
