Humorous macaronic poem by A D Godley, in which he pokes gentle fun at people striving to learn the declension of nouns in Latin (or maybe it is meant as a learning aid...).
(The translation on the first page is my own, just for guidance, the song uses Godley's own poem).
The piece was written in a whole tone scale to emphasise the machine quality of the motor bus itself and the machine like quality of chanting Latin declensions.
The performance is my own.
