In Praise of Necrophilia

by Stephanus Berard

This satirical essay ridicules the belief (as expressed in another author's essay) that Latin is too difficult a language actually to be spoken.

Latin's a dead language,


as dead as dead can be.


It killed off all the Romans,


and now it's killing me!
