i wish i had galoshes

It seems the weather here is stuck in a gloomy state, so I turned to one of my favorite poets to lighten everything up. I absolutely love his style. I felt this poem was appropriate.

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
