Analysis of Ray's Defense



I know this guy whose name is Ray
Who often may words like sebaceous say
The guy is the creative, thoughtful sort
Though his brain may, at times, sail to an outer port
When he takes these trips in his innermost mind
You may be left wondering if you're slightly blind
But you see and know that it's just his way
And though his mind with wind in trees does sway
For him it truly makes perfect sense
And his life is filled with no pretense
So when he may come up with "mountificationize"
You just have to, in your spirit, realize
He can brighten the day with some off-the-wall stuff
Allowing you to find your life is really not so rough
