Exhilarate is derived from the tongue
Of the Romans to whom Latin belonged.
What a sad notion
That most are not taught it
It helps English acquisition along
However, the highest value today
Is whether a subject will pay.
Toddlers learn coding,
As computers are loading.
And learn not at all from their play.
Yet play is vital for satisfaction
To the sensuous world we interact in
And tots learn how to talk
Without much conscious thought.
So we can learn if the future is fiction.
