paste! Old Ray knows what to do in case of emergency.
When the train passes,
he pulls his finger.

He eats the heads of roosters when he can
and dislocates the arms of village nazis.

Old Ray is a saavy vet.
He was in The War of Potatoes
and served as the head documenter.

Remember the times, Old Ray!

When Old Ray breaks your spirit
he gives you a cocktail and a firecracker.

His dog Sharps doesn't have a tail
but his leash is made of banjo strings.
Old Ray snaps the necks of asshole boyfriends.

Old Ray is quick in math
but he gets around town slow
because of his one shoe.
It's a worn out, beat up thing
that he alternates
between feet
for every step.

Old Ray owes the government no taxes.

He has a candle that has burned for 50 years.
He takes bathing seriously
because it's in a cauldron of boiling wine.
Good for the lungs, good for the pores he says.

paste! old ray just shot ET in the face
because he was listening to the screams
of wildcats after he went bowling.
