A.M.A - Against Medical Advice. It happens in the best of families.

Ray

A ray of sunshine

He was not,

An ornery drunkard

His lungs were shot,

A ray of foolishness

A pain in the arse,

Time spent in rehab

A total farce.

This patron of Harley

The barkeep's best friend,

Would have the last laugh

In the very end,

When he snuck out the back door

Against medical advice,

A cigarette was waiting

With Johnny Walker on ice.

Ray Revisited

There's no glimmer of intelligence

No dazzle of the mind,

No sparkle of imagination

Nor a flicker of the divine.

He's a flagrant, fugitive idler

A vagabond prince of denial,

After a 12 hour stint with this bloke

You feel like, you've been on trial.

No, he's not a ray of sunshine

Not a ray of hope,

And there's not a ray of hopefulness

For a handy length of rope.
