It actually helps if your Latin is not too good.

I flunked Latin in high school. I bet Miss Emmabelle Jones would be shocked that I even know what Latin is. She once told me she would give me an A if I turned in a paper, any paper.
I finally did a paper on Vulcan and she gave me an A but only for one assignment.

It could have been a fashionable feature, an amusing idea for the newly well-off villa owner who’d pull himself up by the bootstraps.

The Latin classes were filled by the time I registered for my Sophomore year, so what I know of Latin, I learned by word of mouth and by comparisons with other root words.

It’s very possible. Think of what pet owner of today do with their dogs. I can easily see it happening back in ancient times.

Latin is a language, as dead as it can be, it killed the ancient Romans, and now it’s killing me.
I remember that one from high school over 50 years ago.

We put Saltillo (Mexican) tile in our house and I have dog foot prints in about 4 different places. When the men were laying the floor I told them I would tip them for every dog print tile they installed. They were glad to oblige!

I can say, with a certain degree of certainty....that it wasn't from a Lab.

We knew that, the Romans didn’t have labs, they made these tiles in a workshop. /rimshot!

I just copied and pasted it from one of many web sites which had the poem on them.
It is an old poem with no copyright, actually the composer is unknown.
