I think there is a direct correlation between one's addiction to MUDCAT and one's frustration level when one's computer crashes!!!!!!
ARRRGGGHHHH!! But, it's back! (And less expensive than last time!)
 
Yvonne, I'd be happy to share my verse to Puff. I hope Peter Yarrow doesn't mind.....
 
I wrote it after singing the song to a group of preschoolers....Their little faces dropped at the end of the song. I just couldn't leave it there, so the next day we sang it again. After Puff sadly slips into his cave, and we sing the refrain one more time to mull it over, then I ask "Is that the end?" And they all delight in saying "NO!" Then we sing the last verse, and they really belt it out!....
 
Many long years later, Puff was sleeping on the shore
He awakened to the laughter that he'd known so long before
There was Jackie Paper, now grown into a man
And he brought all of his children
To play with Puff again!
 
Happily ever after.........
