Where’s Catullus?
A Work in Progress
111
Where’s Catullus?
He’s gone all in and taken us with him
We’re all at war
It’s just like him
A big distraction
Caesar’s attacked Persia
Has he gone too far?
You know he wants to go further
Alexander the Great
Went that way
Next came Afghanistan
Then came India
Till his troops turned for home
On his way back
He died
Leaving an empire
For Rome to conquer
Once again
Will he lose his legions
Who can tell us?
Will he lose elections
Who can tell us?
Will the Senate impeach him
Rescue the country?
Where’s Catullus?
Who can tell us?
