intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and brushing his scapular aside
procceds to dump these inside of his shirt... He turns to us and speaks:

near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design. Later he says:
 
 
"Some people... Some people like cupcakes exclusively, while I myself say

But he was a muffin  
He hung around till you found  
That he didn`t know nuthin`  
 
 
Girl you thought he was a man  
But he only was a-puffin`  
No cries is heard in the night  
As a result of him stuffin`
