Jeffrey Arrives on Land!
Jeffrey loves to swim,
That much is true,
Up from his swim, he is seeking a view.
Find him near Riverstage sounds
Never Overlooking where the water is Found

Walking Up Spring
Jeffrey dances in the sky
Brave as can be, he looks for the signs
Trying to plan the next adventure ahead
Look for the Lightpost and you won’t be misled
3. Jeffrey can Fly!
Jeffrey likes flying and playing around
Pausing for seconds he hears a sound
Of people playing Cricut and a train’s loud horn
On the long wall, Jeffrey was set down.

Hot as can be, Jeffrey needs to cool down
Walking down Spring. He finds the coolest spot in town
Surrounded by trees and brick walls too

Headed towards Maple
Jeffrey marvels around

Passing past Maple and Headed to Court

Skating, sliding, and riding around.
Jefferey’s again low to the ground.

Crossing cross Court, care must abound!

Heusers and Hoosiers and all the fun things

Catching his eye is a sculpture with wings
Sitting to chat, what will the day bring?

Onto 7th, color, and cue

Jeffrey hears music, Jeffrey wants a view
Picasso faces with green feet too

Surrounded by flowers and perched on a pipe
Jeffrey knew this journey was right.
Seeing his friends Jeffrey does reunite
