Now Dale, you're generalising. Ray's gibberish is hardly ever humorous* :p
Those readability tests are a phenomenal load of shite peddled by the world's most reprehensible shite-merchants: people who make money out of lying about what is needed for education. These are the people who standardise everything and reduce the mind to a series of simplistic algorithms which, interestingly enough, don't even appear on their standardised tests because they're not proper maths or science or even phys-ed. In a society obsessed with political correctness, we are still forced to measure outcomes against a load of bollocks generated by a bunch of dicks.
Poets must rebel against such tyranny! Let us feed "complex" poems through this moronic calculator until it explodes and spews its contents back on its anally retentive overlords and forces them to drown in metaphor.
*Of course this is not so. Ray neither gibs nor hums -- rather, he echoes the song of the universe. If readers are not ready for such enlightenment, so be it. They may return to their caves and watch some more shadows.
