    In Just-*

    in Just-
    spring	        when the world is mud-
    lucscious the little
    lame balloonman
    
    whistles	   far	  and wee
    					5
    and eddiandbill come
    running from marbles and
    piracies and it's 
    spring
    
    it's
    spring
    and
    	      the
    
    			        goat-footed
    *Mr. Cummings recorded "in Just-" (78 rpm, Linguaphone Institute, HBC).
