THE PUFF STORY

There was a young man named Lenny Lipton and while he was away at college he went to the library and read some poems by Ogden Nash.  While on his way to his friend's house for dinner, Lenny became very introspective about the journey he was taking now and the loss of his childhood and innocence.  When he arrived at his friend's home, he found no one there.  He sat down to wait, and wrote a poem of his own which he left in his friend's room-mate's typewriter.  Now the room-mate, Peter happened to be a musician and when he saw the poem he added some music to it.  Years later when Peter, Paul and Mary recorded this "poem" it became a hit.  Peter Yarrow then tracked down Lenny Lipton and gave him credit on the song as a writer.
