Once in a flurry, a tiny blue town, lived Professor Puff, with a big, fuzzy frown. His hat was all crooked, his shoes quite mismatched, but he was the brains behind theories unlatched.
In his lab, quite fantastic, concoctions galore, with bubbling beakers and potions that roar. He'd mix and he'd stir, with a hum and a hop. His experiments were the talk of the shop!
One bright, shiny Monday, quite splendid and new, the professor decided to brew something blue. 'For what it's worth,' he gave a great grin, 'it might make you giggle, or grant you a fin!'
He searched and he rummaged through cans and through jars, with whispers from crickets and chatter from stars. He found a blue feather, light as the breeze, and wrapped up a giggle that danced through the trees.
With a splash and a sizzle, a whir and a pop, the potion was perfect; it made a loud plop! It glowed and it gleamed, quite ready to test, who'd be the brave one? Which friend would be best?
In bounced Biff Bunny, with ears long and tall, 'I'll drink this bright potion and stand very small!' But after one sip, to the professor's surprise, Biff Bunny sprouted three pairs of big eyes!
Next in line was Tim Toad, who hopped in with glee, 'I’ll gulp down this potion and swim like the sea!' But much to their shock and their absolute glee, Tim Toad grew bright wings and chirped like a bee.
Then Lucy the Lizard said, 'Let’s give it a whirl. This potion might make me a ballet dancing girl!' She swirled and she twirled after one tiny sip, with silver slippers on each little tip.
The lab was alight with laughter and cheer, for Professor Puff's potion brought joy far and near. Each sip brought a whimsy, each gulp made them glow, their dreams sprung to life in a fizzy, blue show!
Then up rose the sun, and the day turned to night, Professor Puff bid them all a good night. With pots all to wash and new notes to write, he dreamt of tomorrow's new, marvelous light.
For in the world of science, with magic and fun, there’s always a new thing to be learned or begun. Professor Puff's laughter and love knew, that each curious mind could brew something new!
So next time you wonder or ponder or think, remember dear Puff and his magical drink. For joy in discovery, for friends near and far, like Puff’s peculiar potion, you’re each a bright star!
