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

whistles far and wee
and eddie and bill 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 betty an disbel come dancing
from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it’s spring and
the goat-footed
baloon Man whistles
far and wee
