Sic Transit
I haven't seen that in print in many years (if ever)!
The version I learned back in the early 60's was a different "Latin" dialect, I guess:
Lucat bene derdego
Honet buses inero
Honomo demis trux
Summit causin, summit dux
Towsan
Seeing the trucks in a row reminded me of something my uncle would say from time to time.
Seville der dago
Towsan buses inaro
Nojo demis trux
Summit cowsin
Summit dux.
See Billy, there they go.
Thousand buses in a row.
No Joe, them is trucks.
Some with cows and some with ducks.
That's a lot of Chevys
Not a Ford or Dodge in the lot.
Debonair in the dirt
