I came up with these bits of Roman insanity in Latin class:
Nero was an evil man
An evil man was he
With Rome on fire
He played his lyre
and laughed with fiendish glee
and
Calligula means "little boot"
And he loved his shiny loot
He squandered Rome's sescertii
On fancy wine from Tusciae
But if you happened to get his ire
he'd set your sorry self on fire
Sescertii and Tuscia rhyme, by the way.

You people and your... latin.
I had to learn spanish.
For two years.
And German.
For one.
But I want to learn Japenese.
And my college offers it.
I just hope it will fit into my schedule next semester...
