I can’t tell you how relieved I am that the plural form wasn’t chosen!
The Romans had a moratorium
On long salutes in the praetorium
If any damned fool
Broke the two-second rule
He’d wind up in the crematorium

The rhyme isn’t a problem, Kristian. I think it could be difficult to build a two-verse, acrostic limerick on crematoria!
