Come, Miss Sally Ray. Stay through star showing.

See, Still his four white lies stand heat while:

More say "Hey! Too far making" "Huh? Runshine?"

Cat gas frightened star mathways, the ___


Which word goes in the blank (and why?)
A: Addition
B: Keep
C: Tile
D: Space

Note: The problem is original, but the idea behind it is not.

My first guess is to use the word "tile," since this seems to be verse of some sort, and "tile" rhymes with "while" in the second line. Rhyming is good; I like rhymes.

Seriously, the words "runshine" and "mathways" lead me to believe this is a verse where every word has had one letter altered, resulting in the verse we see in this puzzle (and these two words would of course be "sunshine" and "pathways"). Perhaps if I stick with it I can make sense of the verse this way, but after ten minutes I can't even figure out the title!
