Stanley
should live in Langley
Virginia
in the vicinity of
the CIA HQ
because between me and you
he’s the kinda dog who
they should have on their payroll
because he can play roles
for instance
if you’re insistent
he move from the sofa this instant
he’ll pretend he’s a kind of unwieldy cushion
that no amount of pushing
will budge
then he’ll stare at you hard as a high court judge
till you shrug
and give up
and sit down grumpily on the rug
to watch TV
which is obviously where HE should be
manipulative to the nth degree
but great spy potential if you ask me
