Ray Charles’ Voice is like
a pound of mushrooms and three beautiful women
poured through a funnel into
the innards of your brain
Ray Charles’ Voice
will make the pants fall right off your girl
make a bishop kick in a stained glass window
make a hooker go back to school
and become a dental assistant
Ray Charles’ Voice
will shake and tumble and stumble through you
it’ll make you sad you’ll never be that happy
make you happy you’ll never be that sad
depending, of course, on the song
Ray Charles’ Voice
will do a lot of things
but it will not make me want to play the lotto
