in just-

spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame baloonman


whistles far and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring


when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old baloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing


from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and
the


goat-footed

baloonMan whistles
far
and
wee

-e.e. cummings (1920)
