Babs: Re Oct 24 message. My mom demonstrated to me back in the early 70s one of the interpretations of Puff The Magic Dragon. Hers was this: “Puff” the Magic “Drag on” Lived by the “C”. (for cigarette) And frolicked in the autumn “mist” in a land called Hannalee. Little jackie “paper”, loved that rascal “puff”. And brought him gifts and “sealing wax” and other fancy “stuff”. I learned it was a reference to marijuana.
