O Clodia, Catullus wrote Rome,
that you could but open your home
to my swift hot invasion,
and don't mar the occasion,
with lauds to that dolt - Cicero! Hm!

Poems in ancient Rome - round about the time of Julius Caesar - were often a lot bawdier than ours (in the West) usually are; we're too influenced by centuries of Christian prudery. So I chose the bawdiest modern fixed form I could think of - the limerick - and tried to imagine how Romans would take a jab at the romantic antics of Catullus, a famous young poet at the time.
