I tried another Partenza Represa. Is this poem less funerial now?
Music?
by Elaine Polin
I asked my Mum, can I play drums?
Drums, said she, please try piano,
Piano is soft, won’t make me numb,
Numb will dumb my fine soprano.
Soprano screeching in my ears,
Ears numb to music in the room,
The room, said Dad, too crowded here,
Hereafter to the track I’ll zoom.
Zoom he did and came home with cash,
Cash he divided with his girls,
Girls, he shouted, next time I’ll mash
Mash the piano in your curls.
Update:Y wants me to put this in Egypt!

Making mum an ancient mummy...
I'm not sure Dr. Hawass (The Director of Egyptian Antiquities) would want an old mummy, just the ancient one! On the other hand, this is a scream, and I needed to read something funny....I keep watching the weather channel!
It's okay, my last Partenza Represa they wanted in Africa. You're doing all right. But this, this is hysterical, coming from someone who studied piano and violin and failed miserably at both. However, I didn't do that bad at soprano...well, mezzo actually. Wonderful and funny, definitely less funerial. Thanks, Elaine.
I tried to translate this to hieroglyphics . but alas it couldn't be done.
It seems the Egyptians never quite knew how to make a simple pun.
I tried playing the potato but it's only key was the off key... it did however mash quite well into the curls of little girls... E.P. you are too much fun... your words were a delicacy, I still taste them.
intersting...nice sounding
