Reminds me of the "Puff the magic
dragon" song by Peter Paul and Mary. People used to say that it was
really about smoking weed. Vehemently denied by PP&M.

I heard "Puff the magic dragon" was GI slang for the string of
explosive charges placed at the base of trees felled to create an
airstrip in Viet Nam.
