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 …

la …

ti
