het·ero·nym
Noun: one of two

First Known Use:

24: do
I didn’t see what I could do—
It was a mystery:
Each time she saw me, she would start
That singing: “Do-re-mi.”
Again! Again! Again! Again!
It drove me pure insane.
And that is why I’m in the “home”—
Where all my years will wane.
Oh, then they asked if I would join
A group they have—the choir?
But when I heard that “do-re-mi,”
I knew I would expire.
