Heya, Bill,
The Little Lame Balloon Man isn't from my poem, but from Cummings' poem "In Just-". The Little Lame (goat-footed) Balloonman is Pan, or at least an allusion to Pan - whistling far and wee.
in just-
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-footed
balloonMan whistles
far
and
wee
e.e. cummings
