Lipton's web site carefully says he "created" Puff, on which the song is based:

This site explains how Yarrow got hold of it:

As you can see from Lipton's site, he went on to become both a successful filmmaker and inventor, and he hangs out with other creative people. Some folks only have one poem in them, I'd be more than happy if any of mine was known by heart by most of the English-singing world.
