Playing The Pyramid…
/Playing the Pyramid (a D’oh-Raymese Poemid Production)
D’oh-Raymese was a great Pharaoh's Maestro. I have collected 24 of his verses which inspired the song "Do-Re-Mi" by Rogers and Hammerstein in "The Sound of Music."

The
Pharaoh’s
maestro,
D’oh-Raymese,
liked to please.
Played with ease
piano keys,
ukuleles,
and spoons on knees—
a jazzy breeze
to keep things upbeat
though melancholy,
knowing the downbeat
was their finale,
sealed within the gloom
deep in their Pharaoh’s tomb
with barely ample room
for dancing to their doom.
This life would not resume
but music helped consume
the darkness of this womb.
Though their time was nearly out—
the air was quickly thinning—
yet they sang without a doubt
believing they were winning,
hoping they would soon be free
to start a new beginning:
Do, re, mi …
fa … sol …
