Analysis of Stan
Stan
My friend Stan is a simple man..
He lives his life the best he can..
The way he lives he has no plan..
He starts each day with a big ol smile..
When he walks he walks in style..
His daily life is very versatile..
He has the strength and courage too..
Whatever may happen he’ll follow it through..
He speaks with wisdom that you look up to..
His happiness makes him free..
In his face I can see..
My friend Stan is really me..
