Thread Name: Puff the Dragon on Pot?
Subject: Lyr Add: PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON with additions
Opinions we got lots of. Let's examine the song. I will type in capslock to separate what I write from the song. First, a disclaimer. I have never smoked marijuana and never will. But I have a friend who did and he told me all about it.

"Puff the Magic Dragon"

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

MY FRIEND TOLD ME [MFTM]THAT WHEN HE GETS STONED HE DOESN'T WANT TO FROLICK. HE WANTS TO EAT. THE HONAH LEE IS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE SARA LEE. HOWEVER, ONE ROBIN DOTH NOT A SPRING MAKE. A NEST, YES, BUT NOT A SPRING.

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow when'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.

MFTM THAT WHEN HE IS STONED THE LAST THING HE WANTS TO DO IS FIGURE OUT WHAT A BILLOWED SAIL IS. IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE SAME FOR THE PIRATES, TOO, BECAUSE THEY LOWERED THEIRS.

OH, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

MFTM THAT 1) DRAGONS DON'T LIVE FOREVER AND IF THEY DID HOW WOULD ST GEORGE HAVE SLEW--SLAYED--SLAIN--BUMPED ONE OFF THEN?

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.

MFTM THAT THE DRAGON SHOULD HAVE USED HEAD AND SHOULDERS AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE SCALES-FALLING PROBLEM.

Oh! Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

MFTM THAT HE IS CONFUSED BY THIS SONG AND NOW HE WON'T COME OUTTA THE CUPBOARD BECAUSE THERE'S A DRAGON IN THE ROOM. THANKS A LOT.
