In omnibus Vacerra quod conclavibus
consumit horas et die toto sedet, cenaturit Vacerra, non cataturit. Why does Vacerra, in all the bathrooms, Waste his hours and sit the whole day. Vacerra wants to dine, he doesn’t want to poop. Ogni dì a tutte l’ore Vacerra suole sui vasi di tutti i bagni ponzare; eppure Vacerra vuol cenare, non cacare. |
