A Fresh Perspective on Latin Lingo

In modern times make sure it rhymes

Hear ye, hear ye, hear me go Give a Latin class to Joe

Amo amas amat Pronounce it cut (or cat?) Amamus amatis amant This sucks I really can’t (or cant?)

You want to instigate I’m here to investigate

Conjugate Deliberate Conflate donate Invigorate

Translate Can’t wait to tell you

Hell, you won’t believe I’ve been granted a reprieve Laughing up my sleeve

(It’s winter here No need to sneer)

That word Absurd They call it Love

But more romantic Using Ancient Rome Semantics

Symbolic of the turtle dove The word Amare means to love

In modern lingo an amare is a guy who’s a great listener and friendly to everyone.

That’s our Joe!

Then there’s Dino who sings about amore:

Thank you to Joe Luca for the prompt Amare.

I also included Bob Jasper’s Instigate prompt.

I’m not the tagging type so will leave it up to the other tagees to do their poetic duty!

(If you live in the States, please do your patriotic duty in November.)

Thanks for your time!
