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
