Once
upon a time
The verbs were
easier than now
We
learned our endings
To
the tune of “Jeopardy”
But
that was once upon a time
Not
so long ago.
“-r”,
“-ris”, “-tur”,
“-mur”,
“-mini” and “-ntur”
Are
the passive endings
That
we somehow must endure!
But
we will thrive
We’re
certain to survive
It’s
not that hard…
Because
our weird Latin teacher
Has
written us this song!
