The Gay Manta Ray

 

The Gay Manta Ray felt out of place

especially amongst a shoal of plaice

He swam the oceans mostly alone

without the comfort of a mobile phone

 

He was shunned by many of the other Rays

because he lived according to different ways

Essentially he was in search of a mate

yet frequently found only a hake

 

Often mocked by crab and eel

this was really too much to feel

Other Rays kept him at bay

because his life style was of another way

 

Sometimes he wished to be hooked and caught

then all would end and he become naught

So on he swam in search of love

offering a few prayers to God above
