This poem by e.e. Cummings describes a spring day. It mentions the "little lame balloonman" whistling and children like "eddieandbill" and "Bettyandisbel" coming out to play. The poem depicts the mud and puddles of springtime and references the "goat-footed" balloon man multiple times. It uses unconventional capitalization and spelling to portray a lighthearted scene of children enjoying the wonders of spring.
