[lojban-beginners] Shakespeare



At jbonunsla 2006 I attempted to rewrite a scentance, which was itself the product of a lengthy and uneventful school day.
This scentance was meant to take the statement: "...you can nest sumti inside sumti inside sumti, up to and including the point where you fry your brain." (from the "lojban for beginners" lessons) as more of a challenge.
I had said to (atleast one person) that I would send it to them, and I wish for as many comments on the grammar as possable, so I post my rediculously lengthy (and historically inacurate) statement for the general evaluation of the lojbanic community:

.i ko'a goi le catra be la cekspir. poi ke'a finti la romios.end.djuliet. leka ce'u zdile kei le xelso lisri ku'o cu badri lenu catra la cekspir. loi vanju kei mu'i lenu ko'a co'a facki ledu'u ko'a nelci le se ciska be la cekspir kei la cekspir. (zo'o)


I recognise the absurdity of the statement, but it was the longest thing I could think of off the top of my head in school, and this particular statement was the best I could remember of it (and have edited by many people at jbonunsla-- ki'e .iosai) at jbonunsla.
Input, comments, and corrections are more than welcome
