Jackson Paper Retires
"Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea", Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow
His name was Jackson Paper.
Forgotten by history,
disappearing like a vapor,
he was born near Honalee.
He became successful enough,
but forgot his childhood friend.
Years later, in a smoky puff,
he met a fiery end.
Happy Ending
While, Jackson, ol' Puff did destroy,
in his place, a younger male
heard, "long time no see, Jackie boy,
time for us to set sail".
