*Barney* bom KLBC



OK I was a little ambitious; both meter and rhyme with some recasting.  The
subject matter maybe galling but try to see the humor in it.

*Barney* bom vImuch 'e' HIchaw'

qamuSbe'										"I love you."

chomuSbe'										"You love me."

ReH tay' tlhIH tuq'a'maj je						"We're a happy family."
												Recast as "You will always be part 												of our great
house."  The reason for 												the type 1 suffix (augmentative)
													was to help the meter.

SoH nIDechqu' DeSDu'wIj 'ej mapaw' maH		"With a great big hug and kiss from
												me to you."
												Recast as "My arms surround you 													and we head butt each
other."  														Reasons; sounds more Klingon, 													no words for
hug and kiss and the 													rhyme.

chomuSbe' 'e' jIjatlhtaH						"Won't you say you love me too?"
												Recast as "Say you love me over and 												over!"  Reason;
just my own belief 												that Barney has a sinister agenda.

Well, that's it.  I know at least one of the rhymes is forced and the meter
maybe off.  It works when I sing it, though.
