Keen readers of our website will remember our feature on recent election campaigns in Year 8 Latin. Miss Cohen has sent us this fantastic rap written by Chris in Year 8 (banner photo, above)! We hope you enjoy Chris’s unique combination of classical knowledge and impressive control of rhyme and meter.

L Ceius Secundus Rap
by Chris K

L Ceius for that drip (drip)
No wonder he’s so goated
No man can make ‘im trip (trip)
With cash he is loaded

When my man est in horto
He waters all the flowers
When in doubt he’s a go-to
‘Cus he’s good with power

L Ceius has that drip
L Ceius is so cold
When L Ceius gives a tip
Do as you are told

When L Ceius starts to cook
His opponents flee and go
L Ceius donates to slaves such as:
Grumio!

L Ceius fights inflation
L Ceius cares for your health
L Ceius supports our nation
He donates all his wealth

When er geht ins kino
L Ceius is considerate
For all the poor fellows
He gives them free tickets

Cus L Ceius is that guy
He is a top G
But in return for all his kindness
You must pay a fee

What he asks is simple
All he wants is your vote
If you vote your wealth will triple
I’ll end with what he wrote

When one is faces with a problem
Such as a riot in Pompeii
Only one guy can help you save ‘em
It’s L Ceius! Pave the way!

Like Ba the Imperfect Sheep
L Ceius can make mistakes
But unlike the others who sit and sleep
He doesn’t lie like snakes

Because L Ceius is in control
He can show the world what it takes.
So please vote for our candidate
For yours and Pompeii’s sakes.
