CAESAR%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%99S WIFE AND THE CENTURION

by

Paul Curtis

In ancient Rome in a time quite unlike today
Of Ceasar's wife the people were heard to say
That she was beyond reproach and all believed
And never once did the people feel deceived

One day after many years serving the empire
A brave centurion now returned full of desire
After soldiering long and hard over land and sea
He was back in Rome seeking feminine company

Caesar meanwhile was neglectful of his wife
For him the empire was most important in his life
And while Caesar was away enlarging his empire
The soldier took his chance and lit the ladies fire

The couple however were very indiscreet, so
They were soon discovered Inflagrante Delicto
Well Caesar’s wife was beyond reproach before
But it’s only Caesar that thinks that anymore
