Dear brain:

When I said I was tired of Mamma Mia looping endlessly (and beginninglessly) through my head and I wanted a replacement, I did not exactly mean nursery rhymes.

Also, I seriously doubt that the "Latin version" of this particular rhyme is actually "Jackius et Jillius went upius the hillius to fetchius a pailius of agua".

Please find something better before I try scrubbing you with a Brillo pad.

No love,
but some amusement,
-me

Jacobus et Julia suprā clīvum iērunt
situlam aquae impetrāre
Jacobus cecidit et eius [crown] frēgit
et Julia post eum rotābat

Crown could plausibly be rendered "corōnam" or "caput" depending and that changes the meaning of the English in ways that impetro vs assequor vs consequor maybe doesn't

Given that the next verse has him going home and getting a plaster put on, I'm guessing it's his forehead.

There's a next verse?

Caput, then.
