Who said that Latin's dead?

Sorry if you all know this one, but, back in the mid-seventies two years' study of Latin was still compulsory at my school. Handwritten in the front of my (very old and much used) textbook was this wonderful little ditty: "Latin is a language, As dead as dead can be, First it killed the Romans, And now it's killing me...."

I wish I'd been a Roman Last one v good

And lived the Roman ways

I'd doff my toga in the baths

With all the other straight people moving right along...

Latin is a language

With endings and declensions

It's quite the grammar sandwich

With classical pretensions

How fond I am of Kipling

Of Kim and Gunga Din

Of verandah-settled tippling

Small tonic, lots of gin.

I wish I'd lived in days of Raj

With my hookah and my bhisti

A most impressive entourage

Quite unlike E L Wisty.

I want to turn the decades back

And have my time again

Well, maybe not the early days

'cause teething was a pain

I wish I could remember

Why I came upstairs

But I'm sure that it will come to me

Perhaps I'm hiding from the Blairs?
a merciful end...

I wish I was a dentist's drill

A-grinding at your teeth

I'd snigger as I hit a nerve

And the touchy stuff beneath. (Softers) You BASTARD :-)

I wish I was an albatross

A soaring o'er the briny

I'd check out female Albatrii I know...

E'en though my willy's tiny. (Botherer) That's all right then. :-)

I wish I were an eagle

Perched on my cliffside aerie

Bunny rabbits, watch your back
