Salvete!
I will be teaching Latin this year to 1st thru 6th graders and found online a very kid-friendly poem about Horatio at the Bridge. If anyone knows who the author is (it has a very James Whitcomb Riley-esque meter about it), please reply so that I can give her/him credit.
The opening stanza is:
Kids were playing in the fields and the summer air was blowing,
Mothers did their cooking as the afternoon was slowing.
There are about 45 more stanzas.
Gratias!
Found poem about Horatio -- need author
