We Are Canadian: As One We Stand
We came from the beginning, shrouded mists of time and space,
And in this vast and northern clime each found our sacred place.
We were our country’s pioneers, the people of the land,
We lit the flame and then became the first Canadians!
We came on ships across the sea; with help from those before,
Pushed frontiers three hundred years,

Here lies the body of Stanley Meyer
Inventor, salesman, and consummate liar
A brain aneurysm
Might have kept him from prison
Both he and his fuel cell patents expired

Naomi's and Stanley Torment - The Villanelle Of The Home
Naomi couldn't stop thinking about the home
It was just so splendid and perfect
so excited that she was approved of, the loan
That morning, Naomi was shocked by the stones
All around the garden she had to calm herself
Naomi couldn't stop thinking about the foam
All around the

Not Stanley
Not Stanley
Laughing, I said “My stone’s name is Stanley.”
But as soon as the words left my mouth,
I knew that I was wrong.
My name is not Stanley.
You may call me abinoojinh aki
earth child.
I was torn from my home
many lifetimes ago.
The great white destroyer pushed me
where I would not have chosen to go.
I bore the oppressive weight

Stanley, An American, Recounts His Meeting With Livingstone
I’m like, “Yo!”,
and he’s like, “Woh!”,
and I’m like, “Good to meet,”
and he’s like, “Real neat,”
and I’m like, “Jungle sucks,”
and he’s like, “It’s big bucks,”
and I’m like, “It’s the pits,”
and he’s like, “What a ditz!”,
and I’m like, “Where’s the beer?”,
and he’s like, “Why you here?”,
and I’m like, “I got sent,”

Lola Stanley
1913-1918
This side of the veil,
No living human has ever seen,
No mere mortal has ever beheld,
The diamond stutted rainbow face,
Of the One, Iam
With streams of flame,
Flowing from the Axis,
His all-seeing eyes,
Can be felt like crashing waves,
Of silent sound, silent…
Like rushing ripples of watery light,
The Eternal Seed,
The everlasting bloom;
Of the One, Iam
The only flower, silent…
There

Stanley Russell Harris (ME)
The new Mad Author
When my books begin to sell.
From, ‘feedaread,’ where they dwell!
And I’m as rich as blinking well…
You know, rolling in that thing called money.
With figures in front of those zeros,
so the balance is not funny.
Do you know the first thing I must buy?
It’s a house by the sea for the

A Mathematician Named Stanley Quist
A mathematician named Stanley Quist
So impressed his fellow topologists
By finding a proof of a complex conjecture,
Then disappearing during his lecture.
For he had just proven that S. Quist did not exist.

Mister Stanley
Mr. Stanley died today.
His nurse had been puttering around
in his room,
straightening his bed clothes,
taking his vital signs.
He decided to let her have one more go at it.
“Mr. Stanley,” she would say,
“Your blood pressure is a little bit high.
Think of pleasant things.”
Mr. Stanley didn't know pleasant,
or comfortable, or nice and kind.
He was a man unto himself.
Relatives
