Does Noble Caesar Cackle?
Hic, haec, hoc,
huius, huius, huius
Where are you now, Professor Lambert?
Are you lying in a field
of dripping sugar cane
sipping planters punch
from a maiden's navel?
Huic, huic, huic
Sammy Taylor stole a Buick.
Remember him?
Last seat...last row
Why didn't your declensions
keep him out of jail?
Hunc, hanc, hoc
O your classroom was a joke.
The boys watched Tina's boobs
she never wore a bra.
They made pilgrimages to her desk
the girls sat and snickered.
Hoc, hac, hoc
How perfect conjugation is.
Wanda Morley always studied
and always raised her hand.
She goes from library to rooming house...alone.
Nomenative, genative, dative....
of your wisdom what was born?
Do we find comfort in remembering....
hic, haec, hoc.
