I have been slowly learning Klingong and working on poems in Klingon
(with a preference for haiku and cinquain forms), but I just couldn't
keep myself from trying to translate the following song, because, for
some reason, it reminded me of Klingon. Your comments and translation
are welcome. Note, though, that I took some poetic liberty and used
clipped Klingon in a couple places.
