process playMe

    put "The music is now playing.  Look sharp!"
    delay (10)
end for

for i : 1..100
    put "Play on...flatten us with your volume!"
    delay (10)
end for

Edit:
BTW, bahamut...resize your avtar or face the wrath of the many mods that shall be lurking quite soon...just a friendly warning...:P
