When the world is puddle wonderful...

My favorite description in any poem.
I know I'm supposed to be reviewing customer service and food but I came upon this pretty little poem and had to post it. Have a nice weekend!

Chansons Innocentes: I

by E. E. Cummings

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 queerold 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
