Was Ivan Madray, and why was Ray mad? Jim-eye-knee!
How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

Ah, yes...
Mine's a fun bit of doggerel. Yours, on the other hand,
feels of ancient origins, makes me wish I knew its tongue.
(Even had to Google its origin and read your comments
to make sure it was your very own keen fiction. Liked
the rest of the story that went along with it BTW.)
You should post it in its entirety in misc. for the rest to read.
P.S. It reminds me of the flag story in Louis Malle's film:
"My Dinner with Andre" (Written/acted by Wallace Shawn
and Andre Gregory.)
P.P.S. I think half-decent metrical feet are usually punctuation
enough. IMHO, of course.

Thanks for all interest. Madray was to be an opener for a series of short stories with cliff-hanger endings to encourage others to use their imagination. Like all great ideas it had already been done. How the hell did you find Madray? I actually believed I had made the word up but a post-google proved me wrong,
Read the piece to the rhythm of the song "Blow the wind southerly" to see how shallow I am
In another place assumptions were made that the language was Cherokee or even Navaho. It isn't.....but no one can say I only espouse clear poetry again!
Best,
Tectak

Ha! Yes. "madray" was pretty useless in tracking it down.
But I did find this:
Celebrity Paranormal Project - Season 1, Episode 4: "Mad Ray"
Albert Gottfried, Kimberly Caldwell, Traci Lords, Evan Farmer, and Jeremiah Trotter
revisit the haunted asylum to track down another ghost. This time, it is the spirit of
Mad Ray, a criminal who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia.
I finally wised up and search on the much rarer: "Him-shill shallassy".
Bingo! Learned all about your fiendish construct.
My guess for the language would be one of the Dravidian languages of South India.
Probably Kannada or Malayalam.

Dravidian's is an ancient offshoot of Sumerian by way of Harappa ho
