PHOTOGRAPHY AND POEMS

LATIN LOVER

Put Latin down on your CV –

You know some Latin, as we’ll see.

Curriculum is one such word

While vitae is less often heard.

Abbreviated, we’ve i.e.

(id est) and equally e.g.

BC, A.D. for in a date;

AM’s early, PM’s late.

And whole words, too, if we take stock:

Ad lib, ad nauseum, ad hoc

Agenda, too, and abacus

Not to mention coitus.

To pay back someone is, you know

A very simple quid pro quo.

Status, sic and also quorum –

Latin tags, how I adore ‘em.
