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 them 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 awhile, 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.
