Author notes
if Rome had been ruled by pigs
lawyers would speak pig latin
aqueducts would have had feeding troughs
sows would have worn satin
Ceasar would be a big fat boar
and he would eat his fill
and servants would bring him wine
as he snouted down in his swill
Senators would have nose rings
and would want all to see them
when they went to see the warthog fights
that happened at the Colleseum
the chariot racer, a proud old pig
it seems no one can defeat him
but instead of wearing the laurels he won
the little piggy would eat them
the bath houses would have muddy pits
where citizens would wallow
and share the latest gossip
and fresh pomegranites swallow
Oh, to be a Roman piggy
when Rome held power and sway
to understand what they meant
when they said "axpay Omanusray"
