A feisty old gal from Cuba
Fell madly in love with a tuba
When asked what they said
To each other in bed
Replied, 'Bwap-buba-aruba-bwap-ooba'*

A man with the surname of Pissed
Had problems; too many to list.
Y'see, it hurt him to say
That his first name was Ray
And sadly that made him a Ray Pissed
