[lojban] micro-poem

[Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org>]

li ci no cu se djedi so'o masti .u'e nai 

ro lo drata matne citka

cau le dzena pe la .biuik.

For those of you going "WTF?", it's a variant on the children's
rhyme for the number of days in various months.  As usual with my
poetry translations, it's edited for scansion rather than meaning,
although in this case what I was translating is nonsense, so it
works out well.  :)

The original:

30 Days hath September,
April, June, And November
All The Rest Have 31,
Except February [various options here, not relevant]

The joke variant:

30 Days hath September,
April, June, And No Wonder
All The Rest Eat Peanut Butter
Except Grandma, She Drives A Buick

Had a random urge to translate.

-Robin
