There had been an ongoing discussion about Klingon love poetry and the
bridge crew persuades Worf to Enlighten them as to the Wonderful-ness
of Klingon Poetry and he gives them this little snippet -- in English.
(The bridge crew, after all, deosn't understand Klingon.)  They are
singularly unimpressed, and he mutters something about loosing something
in the translation.  *sigh*  I wish we could have seen it.
