.io .a'u .i'e

I've written a lot of little songs.  Way more than I've ever
published.  I sing to myself in Lojban in the shower and such.  In
fact I wrote a song recently I haven't gotten a chance to record:

.i mi mi ca cavlu'i
.i mi mi .iu ca lumci
.i .ai mi kanro melbi
.i .ai mi rau da morji

(i'm now showering myself,
i'm washing myself who i love,
i'll be healthfully beautiful,
i'll remember the right number of things)
