  The following limericks I wrote appeared in the movie Conlang, and
here is my original letter written to the lojban list about it:
------
I've written two limericks in lojban, both having appeared in the
forums of the OEDILF (Omnificient English Dictionary In Limerick
Form), http://oedilf.com.  Neither is dirty:

fe le tolcre cu nandu .i'u
.iunai fa lo nu finti le mu
lo vlali'i co pemci
.i se tordu le temci
.i lo rimni cu sarcu je'u

nutytirna loi sidbo be fi
lo tadbebna .i jimpe fa mi
no da .i loi tolka'e
be lo terjmi cu a'e
nai gasnu lo blima e'i

(the second is a translation of the following by Steve Andersen, on
the word "acataleptic":
Overhearing the thoughts of a nerd,
I couldn't absorb what I heard.
Things acataleptic
Just make me dyspeptic.
I registered nary a word.)

  I am an editor over at OEDILF and have written over 300 (English
language) limericks there.
