Fine, so no one could find any fault with my last klimerick.  Except for 
ghunchu'wI', who seems to feel my verses transcend the constraints of 
grammar.  Still, I'm hoping that he and others will regain some of their 
critical faculties this week.  I'm getting tired of the free ride.  Here's 
a new one:

<matlhuHchu'meH qIbmaj wIghatlh 'e'
nIS QI'tomer rojmab> ja' matlh'e'.
<SachmeH Holna'maj vum
jupwI', tera' tej 'um,
DaH ratlhbe'mo' HIvchu'meH latlh He!>

I would never have dared so literal a translation of "no other way," but I 
was already working within an *attack* metaphor and thought I might just 
get away with "HIvchu'meH He" even though it's not quite a literal *route.* 
 Whaddaya think?
