   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.

   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.
