Dear Nic, One which we considered risky in our teenage years went as follows:- Puff the magic dragon, Couldn't find a mate, So he frolicked in the Autumn mist, Accustomed to his fate. Then one day he found her, A lovely bit of stuff, But he didn't know just what to do, That's why they called him ..... . Puff the magic dragon, With today's political correctness it might be even more risky now? Best Wishes from Adrian. ---------- ********** ---------- Adrian Hanwell.
