Nero may have taken the blame for that particular burning of Rome but it was more likely a real-estate cartel that burned it down for redevelopment. I wish I were kidding but this was a fairly common practice to drive people out of a neighborhood. Probably a local “eviction” got out of control.

He didn’t chat by the fire, he fiddled while Rome burned.

I thought Nero’s reputation was being rehabilitated. . .like King George’s. . .

Perhaps the teacher will give him a couple of points for creativity.

I remember televised “fireside chats” between JFK and Edward R. Morrow.

Also, those were the same kind of desks we had when I was in elementary school.
