There Once Was a Puffin

by Florence Page Jaques
Oh, there once was a Puffin
Just the shape of a muffin,
And he lived on an island
In the
bright
blue sea!
He ate little fishes,
That were most delicious,
And he had then for supper
And he
had
them
for tea.
But this poor little Puffin,
He couldn't play nothin',
For he hadn't anybody
To
play
with
at all.
So he sat on his island
And he cried for a while, and
He felt very lonely,
And he
felt
very small.
Then along came the fishes,
And they said, "If you wishes,
You can have us for playmates
Instead
of
for
tea!"
So they now play together,

In all sorts of weather,
And the Puffin eats pancakes,
Like you
and
like
me.
