Once upon a Time ...I really did meet a Man called Mr Griffin...
And just like Jackie Paper in "Puff the Magic dragon" ...I loved
him So!.....
Some researchers place Griffins or(Gryphons)in the same category
as DRAGONS...I'm very unsure of what kind of a Dragon I met...
but he was definitely part Lion being a (leo) and could move more
swiftly than any bird I've seen in the sky....You know his sense of hearing
was extremely evolved also...not to mention his many other amazing attributes!
but..I'll leave that story till another day....It's very interesting indeed!
However...I'm Quite sure ..the more I think about it
... that I really did meet a very unusual Dragon...Man !
Thanks to all the people and web sites that I went to ,who
researched this Legendary Creature...I hope you don't mind me
using your information here...It's just that I've always been interested
in such myth and stories..as these ones...
Puff the Magic Dragon
words by: Lenny Lipton
music by: Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary)
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag
When Puff roared out his name. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
A dragon lives forever
But not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon,
He ceased his fealess roar.
His head was bent in sorrow,
Green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend,
Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!
(Sing Chorus Softly)
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
(Sing Chorus Loudly)
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
fascinated by such incredible winged animals...As I find out more
I will add to this page...later
THE GRIFFIN
The griffin (also spelt gryphon, griffon or gryphin) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle with the addition of prominent ears. The female has the wings of an eagle. The male (known as a keythong) has projecting spikes instead of wings and is less frequently depicted. The griffin is generally represented with four legs, wings and a beak, with eagle-like talons in place of a lion's forelegs and equine ears jutting from its skull. ...
In Christian symbolism, the Gryphon originally represented Satan and evil, but later came to represent Christ, especially his dual nature, both divine and earthly, as the Gryphon had mastery of both land and sky, and was noble and majestic. Gryphons were said to kill serpents and basilisks, both embodiments of evil, thus protecting mankind. Gryphons symbolize both strength and wisdom combined in heraldry. On medieval buildings, Gryphons were often used as gargoyles, great stone guardians.
