JUN 15, creative anachronism: Latin authors ... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxDrJJ

a) Reprise of material posted on June 15 in previous years ...

2020: bi-lyrical limerick, dual rhyme schemes (poem)

2021: patients and maladies, eye discharge (poem) 
2022: doctors and practices, ophthalmologist sibling (poem)
2023: creative anachronism, anachronistically (illustrated poem)

To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... eye discharge), into one of the two search bars at the the top of your blog-page. Underneath the slide(s) for each entertaining delight that you discover, you will find a clickable link that lets you easily explore a more widespread collection of wonderments (verse, photos, wordplay, song-lyrics etc.) on the topic of your choice. 

b) Today's Offering (Jun 15, 2024): 

poetic lyrics:/ Productively coughing in chorus,/ Poets Virgil, Catullus and Horace,/
 Unvaxxed, all got COVID,/ As did Livy and Ovid,/ Recorded an eon before us/
Who e-mailed the skinny?/ Lucretius and Pliny.

Authors' Note: When writers distort historic timelines intentionally or inadvertently in concocting their plots, they are said to write anachronistically.

Most of the above-mentioned Roman poets have also been discussed individually elsewhere on the OEDILF site. Many of these figures have had their true Latin names altered considerably to fit our Anglo-Latin construct. Apparently, however, none of these authors adopted the limerick format in their poetry.
