Dead Man Domitius Poem by Raj Arumugam

Dead Man Domitius



so in ancient Rome
Caelius bumps into
his friend in the streets
and he says:
"Hey, Domitius
I thought you were dead"

Domitius laughs and he says:
"Well, you can see I'm alive"

"Yes, " says Caelius, "but you must be dead
for I had the information
from someone more reliable than you"
