I hope they bring you as much joy as they do me.Atlantic Puffin 3 Comments Julie on September 12, 2014 at 10:41 pm Beautiful, these little birds are very photogenic! Reply Leigh W on September 18, 2014 at 5:36 pm Puffins! They have the cutest faces. Remember this poem? There Once Was a PuffinOh, 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.by Florence Page Jaques Reply Sharon Kirsch on October 14, 2014 at 8:15 am Saw these lovely birds in Alaska. The guide said they sometimes eat so many fish that they cannot get airborne. Saw a lot of them just “floating” on the water, but don’t know if that’s true?? Loved the poem from Leigh–never read it before. ReplySubmit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.

Puffins! They have the cutest faces. Remember this poem?
There Once Was a Puffin
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.
