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 bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and

 the

 goat-footed

balloonMan  whistles
far
and
wee
