Ode to Latin

I composed this poem during Latin class today. I feel it is a good explanation of my feelings towards Latin. I don't really know how to write poems, so forgive my lack of meter. I did my best to rhyme :).

Latin

This year I was made to study Latin
Just to satisfy my classics degree
Despite the pain I tried to grin
But thought, "This isn't for me!"

Whoever called it "dead" had good reason
For even the dead could understand
It's simple conjugations, declensions
Indeed, Latin really should be banned
