Stanley’s paws
are about four storeys
high
you need a ladder to get by
or maybe a trampoline
but only if you’re expert at that kinda thing

Stanley’s paws
break all natural laws
scarier
and a whole lot hairier
than your average Himalayan yeti
take a look at the state of our settee

Stanley’s paws
are quite a draw
people
say they’re horrific and unspeakable
but they come in great numbers
to take selfies while he slumbers

Stanley’s paws
get spontaneous applause
whenever
he waves them accidentally or whatever
I mean large crowds gather to declare
they’ve seen smaller claws on a grizzly bear

Stanley’s paws
are opening doors
example
a TV producer phoned for a sample
of something resembling a movie script
and now season 1 is available on Netflix
