Klimerick of the Week



My second exploration of the genre:

DIvI' jabwI' ja' tlhIngan <HInay!
ja'lu' Qaplu'meH 'oy'nISbej vay'.
jIH mu'uHmoHbe' HIqlIj,
paw'DI' loD 'oy'be' mIQwIj,
'a bImonDI' 'oy' mInDu'wIj jay'!>

Line 2 is a potential problem area.  {ja'lu'} is supposed to mean "it is 
said (that) ..."  And I'm not sure whether I can get away with using {-lu'} 
and {vay'} to refer to the *same* indefinite subject.  Comments?

Oh, an earlier version of line 1 was:  "DIy'a'na' ja' wo'rIv <HInay!"
