e.e. cummings

in Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

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 balloonman whistles
far.........and.........wee
and bettyandisablel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's spring
and
.......the

.............goat-footed

balloonMan.........whistles
far
and
wee

(Thank you e.e. cummings, I needed that. It is not spring, but for ten seconds in my brain, it could be. Also, "mud-luscious" and "puddle-wonderful"? Perfect.)
