in just spring




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-foated

balloonMan      whistles
far
and 
wee

  1. Such a lovely photo! I tend to take lots of photos when we go on walks, and my kids always ask me why I am taking photos of their backs (!)
    Try explaining this to a five year old :)
