 Puff The Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul and Mary Songfacts
Of course, the song was meant to mingle the imagery of smoking a joint with the imagery of a magic dragon.
The imagery is steeped in English folklore and I believe the "string and sealing wax" Puff brought for Jackie to play with is prompted by a similar sounding passage in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
In fact, the planes had been called "Dragon Ships" before anyone associated the song title, and nowhere in official records was the plane known by anything other than the actual designation (AC-47 means "Attack Cargo" aircraft model 47) and code name (the current USAF gunships are code-named "Spectre" as direct descendants of "Spooky").

 mikeandtim: GSS - Puff the Magic Dragon
based on the facts above of this mysterious dragon, Puff is a rather difficult GSS candidate to pin down.
since Puff is referred to as a "he" in the popular song named after Puff, the only logical conclusion is to believe that he must in fact be of male gender, but is undeniably a little too in touch with his feminine side.
thus concluding that Puff is in fact a male dragon with gayish tendencies.
