The Puffin

Once there 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 ate them for supper
And he ate 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 eating us for tea
So now they play together
In all kinds of weather
And the Puffin eats pancakes
Just like you and like me
Just like you and like me
Just like you and like me
