I’ve heard of a Paper Tiger –
though I’m not sure what one is –
but, on the basis that there is such a thing,
why can’t there be a Paper Chicken?
Or a cardboard crab?
A papier-mâché penguin?
Or a decoupage dolphin?
Even an origami ostrich
life-size, of course,
could be a consideration,
as could a tissue-paper horse.
