Querolus (The Complainer) or Aulularia (The Pot) is an anonymous Latin comedy from late antiquity, the only Latin drama to survive from this period and the only ancient Latin comedy outside the works of Plautus and Terence.
In his prologue to the spectators the author first says Aululariam hodie sumus acturi (‘We are going to perform the Aulularia today’), then offers a choice of title: Querolus an Aulularia haec dicatur fabula, vestrum hinc iudicium, vestra erit sententia (‘Whether this play is called Querolus or Aulularia will be your judgement, your decision’). The archetype of the surviving manuscripts seem to have had the title Aulularia, along with a false attribution to Plautus, who had also written an Aulularia. This comedy has been found in several manuscripts (the first belonging to the 9th century), but the most important is the Palatinus Latinus 1615, conserved in the Vatican Library, which presents the Querolus before the usual 20 plautine comedies. Modern scholars generally use the title Querolus to avoid confusion with Plautus’ Aulularia.

This morning you've got time
For a hot, home cooked breakfast
Delicious and piping hot
In only 3 microwave minutes
Are you kidding?
Yo, pretty packages of frosted delights
Look, it comes with a toy, he, he, I like that
I wanna number 4, number 6 and throw in a plastic doughnut
Just enjoy the gritty crunch, it tastes just like chicken
Wrappers of many bite sizes
Man, are you freaking blind? That's a rock
All mixed in the pot for momma's homemade
From scratch, well, not quite
Toasted over flames, they be tasting quite right
All hail king Neptune and his water breathers
No snail thing to quick for his water feeders
Don't waste time with your net, our net worth is set, ready, go
Many know others but
We be the colors of the mad and the wicked
We be bad, we be brickit with the 24 hour sign
Shower my habits while you dine like rabbits
With the crunchy, crunchy carrots, that's chicken
Gotta have it superfast
A whole lot of breakfast you got time for
Superfast, superfast, I come in last
But just in time for breakfast
Keep it through, keep it through, forever blue
Tonight's the night for [incomprehensible]
Aluminum, I crush your fun, aluminum
The sea is radioactive
The sea is radioactive
All hail king Neptune and his water breathers
No snail thing to quick for his water feeders
Don't waste time with your net, our net worth is set, ready, go
Many know others but
We be the colors of the mad and the wicked
We be bad, we be brickit with the 24 hour sign
Shower my habits while you dine like rabbits
With the crunchy, crunchy carrots, that's chicken
Gotta have it superfast
Superfast, superfast, I come in last
But just in time for breakfast
Keep it through, keep it through, forever blue
Tonight's the night for [incomprehensible]
Aluminum, I crush your fun, aluminum
The sea is radioactive
The sea is radioactive
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
Superfast jellyfish, superfast jellyfish
