Pretended ducks are wonderful, but then it's time to grow.
-Puff It's so hard to say 'goodbye,' as we magic dragons know.
-Puff I love pasghetti!
-Terry When someone said, 'Did you do that?,' he said, 'Nobody did.'
-Puff Are you nervous? Nobody's not nervous, so I'm not either.
-Terry But Nobody was always there, hid in Terry's pocket.
-Puff And that's how the none and only Nobody danced his way into Terry's life.
-Puff Got any new squishy jokes?
-Nobody The limit was the skies above and where the rainbows end.
-Puff Spoons turn into lollipops, then forests, red and blue.
-Puff Terry's wish for a special friend had finally come true.
-Puff By the time he was 4, his very special qualities confused those about him, and sometimes made them jealous.
-Puff And since Nobody was all that Terry had, Nobody became his friend.
-Puff If I had a middle name, "Together" would be it!
-Nobody Even when he was 3 years old, others did not percieve things as Terry did.
-Puff Who cares about Nobody, you ask? Somebody did!

-Puff Puff: Dear me! Is it raining children, or are you from outer space?
Terry: No, I come from that house.
Puff: That house? Impossible! Nobody lives there.
Terry: You know him, too?
Puff: (setting Terry down) Hmm, a distant cousin, but a bosom companion. He lives there with a chap named, um... Terry.
Terry: I'M Terry!
Puff (laughing): You're right- he told me all about you. Did he (ahem) ever mention me? Puff? Hmm? Puff, the Magic Dragon?
