To Fill Classic Latin’s _oid
To save them all from _ictory
To lead them on to victory
Though now in the present
My duty to present
The past this present
To them, from me
I give the “V”
Not the letter
But the sound for “V”
They’ve lacked it
Throughout history
Because _odka sounds odd, says I
And to put the rest in their _acation
To help their peregrines dive, not di_e
To give their geese a flying formation
I feel it is the least we owe
We screwed up all their months, you know
The Roman year began with March
So start from there, and do the math
That’s why Sep, Oct, Nov, and Dec are
Months 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th
Though the prefixes still work fine
We mixed them somewhere down the line
We mixed them, got them all confused
We pushed their months on down the line
Now, instead, Jan and Feb are used
Thus their calendar has been abused
To make it up
For them, from me
I give to them
The sound of “V”
