posted in Latin poems 04 April 2003 7:56 PM
Hi babybunting
I think the book that I had was called Living Latin. It had a bergundy cover but it didn't have the poems. It was authored by R. Rutheford H. Page who just happened to be the principal of the school that I was at in Toronto at the time.
It appears that you have just exposed my old Latin teacher, Mr. Payne. I thought he made up the poems (the translations) himself. As a result muffeta puella is not trustworthy for spelling. What I offered is the way I remember it sounding.
Right, Humptus Dumptus in muro sedet.
(after all, Humptus was singular).

Perhaps the Goths are then just a walking poster board, celebrating the often missed concept that the most important teacher is one's own self.

With it's great history of success in keeping Alberta rat-free, perhaps our rat patrol should be put in charge of the provincial defence against SARS (the coronavirus).

Little Miss Muffet
Muffeta puella
Sedet in cella
Cum cibo exquisito
Aeranea intrat
Et prope sedet
Puella clammat
Oh!

Emotional terms like divorce and dictatorship can make for interesting reading but are more likely to mislead and distract than to focus on any real problem.
Lets see an argument that makes a valid business case. If this can be done, and I suspect that it can, then your proposal could quickly gain the support that you are looking for.

Identifying a problem can help at times. Identifying a solution can, at times, be more usefull.
Try driving in the right lane. My experience is that it is faster, more predictable, and safer.

Can any of these systems give me an internet connection? I'm talking about using only the satellite system ... no cable ... no phone line.

Horace the Bornto's my friend
But he's broken and now he won't mend
So from head to his feetza
He's now topping for pizza
I think he has had a nice end
