Thanks John for the kind comments, I emended slightly, and don't think Lucy will have too much trouble with the Latin.
Alma Mater
Gaudeamus igitur,
thy ivy-clinging walls endure,
perhaps it’s well they do not speak
for we learnt more than ancient Greek.
We miss the canings that we got
and fantasize on them a lot,
and on the girls we met in class
ut sperno nostrum societas
Had it not been for thy gays
vivant omnes virgines.
Post jacundam juventutem
our minds are marked ad senectutem.
Alma Mater floreat!
Thanks to thee the truth is that
in many things we have excelled
but not until we were expelled.
