The Missing Third Verse to "Puff the Magic Dragon" by Spider Robinson
But even when you're bigger, part of you stays small Distant days of childhood aren't really gone at all and Puff the Magic Dragon, just when he might have died, Heard a sound and looked around and Jack was by his side.
"I'm sorry that I left you, Puff--that was a mistake; dragons may be make believe--that doesn't make them fake." He bent over his old Friend, [sic] kissed him on the snout, The dying dragon gave a roar; jumped up and flew about!

The Spider Robinson verse
by Spider Robinson
But even when you're bigger, part of you stays small
Distant days of childhood aren't really gone at all
and Puff the Magic Dragon, just when he might have died,
Heard a sound and looked around and Jack was by his side.
"I'm sorry that I left you, Puff--that was a mistake;
dragons may be make believe--that doesn't make them fake."
He bent over his old Friend, [sic] kissed him on the snout,
The dying dragon gave a roar; jumped up and flew about!
