________________________________________________________________________________________
“I heard a story about a Dragon.
But he went away.
Or did I leave him?
Lately, I’ve been a little scatterbrained.
Sometimes, I even talk with Mary.
In the early morning.
Paul visited me yesterday.
And left on a jet plane.
There’s a Lemon Tree outside my window.
I’ve no earthly idea why.
We had beef stew for lunch.
I hope it wasn’t Stewball.
Do you like rock and roll music?
The wind is blowin’ today.
500 miles an hour.
Did you see Kamala last night?
She took a hammer to him, didn’t she?
Don’t think twice about that.”

In this fiction, I’ve imagined a musing by Peter Yarrow of the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary. I’ve included references to some of their popular songs in this order: Puff the Magic Dragon, Early Morning Rain, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Lemon Tree, Stewball the Racehorse, I Dig Rock and Roll Music, Blowin’ in the Wind, 500 miles, If I had a Hammer, and Don’t Think Twice. Here’s a link to their greatest hits.
