majQa'! vIparHa'qu'. This might have placed in the recent HolQeD limerick
contest. I do have two comments, though. Fist, <Sam> might be better than
<tu'> in the third line, although <tu'> is fine if you like the sound
better.
Second, <qoH'a' ngo' HeghDajmo'> doesn't quite work. "His death of the old
fool". It sounds like there are two possesives on the same noun. To keep
your syllable count correct, you could probably say <Heghna'mo'>.
