it's just a song about a boy and an imaginary friend, that's all. the name Puff just scanned well, I guess.

I have been blessed with knowing (and singing with) the three of them, and they think it's such a lark that people have jumped on the song like this.

Of course he's going to *say that. And Jerry Garcia got the nickname "Capt. Trips" because he used to pilot a tour boat on the Santa Ana River.

"Inspired by an Ogden Nash poem..", it says.
Ah, one of my favorites, Ogden Nash.

The Dinosaur,
A Beast of Yore
Doesn't live here,
Anymore.

I think that I shall never see,
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the Billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all!!

I've never met an Abominable Snowman,
I hope to never meet one.
I hope that if I do,
That he will be a wee one.

{Thanks, all, for indulging me}

the land of "Hanah Lee" was really the Hawaiian village of Hanalei, known for its particularly potent marijuana plants;

We were in Hanalei only a fortnight ago, but all we got was ice cream.
