Stanley
Blue plaque sits upon wall
Arthur Stanley Jefferson it proclaims
Born 16th June 1890
Telling of where is journey started
A walking manifestation of talent
Known to the world as Stan Laurel
Comedy legend
Here his story began
His family soon moving away
As he would later relocate to another continent
A partnership with Ollie only half the story
Movie director, screenwriter, all-round creative genius
More to Stanley than met the screen
Ulverston’s favourite export
