Educational Singing Fun Times with Grandpa Rome!

[By the Roman-style bath house is a man strumming a ukulele and singing at the top of his voice:]

You may think you have the city in a sack,

[And here comes terrible poetry that's not a haiku for once!]

There once was a goddess from Sparta,
But she traveled to Jakarta.
It was such a shame,
I don't think that was her aim.
I had to look it up on Encarta.

[ROMAN BATHHOUSE YOU SAY? I'M THERE.]

Your singing needs work, but the rhyming was quite clever! Maybe you should just speak them.

But it sounds so much more lively when sung, my lady!

One man's lively interrupts another man's peace, you know.

So you prefer a more traditional approach to the teaching of classical history?

[I am an eight foot skeleton with a gigantic afro, of course.]

Ceasar... that was one of the leaders in this worlds history, no?

[Sorry, Rome keeps thinking about this.]

C-Caesar? Ah, yes! One of the best there ever was! A truly great and noble man!
