The Legend of Do-Do Mite

[firefox]

I was reading Frank Zappa's online book where he talks about jailhouse poetry on the wall during his imprisonment and he speaks of the Legend of Do-Do Mite. Somebody I know that is a good customer of the slammer asked me to try to find it as he had read it before during one of his stays.

Unfortunately, Google results produce only a dead end, except for the online book that I used for the spelling in the search for the exact phrase "The Legend of Do-Do Mite."

Does anyone have any knowledge of Do-Do Mite?

1. It must be very obscure

I was hoping to get lucky, but then don't we all want to get lucky?

I got both movies. If you're in Florida, I'll let you watch them.

3. Thanks for the reply

I got the term and spelling from an oline book by Zappa and it is "The Legend of Do-Do Mite." Zappa called it jailhouse poetry as it was written on the wall of his cell.

It could well be that the poetry comes from the movies you mentioned. I am trying to figure it out. Thanks for giving me a direction to search.
