There once was a great lover of Latin
Who had a job as a professional assassin.
Whilst reading great Virgil
He became very ill.
That’s what comes of reading too much Latin!

I took Latin to ‘o’-level. (I failed!) I hated it. We had a little poem we recited that went:
Latin is a Language as dead as dead can be.
It killed the Ancient Romans and now it’s killing me.
But all these years later, I’m glad I took it. It has helped me with English.
That little poem made me laugh, Vivienne. I once dreamed of mastering Latin, but never studied the language. Although I do remember an old disused Latin primer in one of my schools.
I’m glad I made you laugh, Kevin. You often produced a giggle in me, so it’s only fair I reciprocate.
Thank you, Vivienne. Again, your comment made me smile
