MELBI COI

- all improvements welcomed. I particularly struggled with trying to find
ways to avoid ending lines (fourth lines) on a trochee -- "poi mroselfu
le kam zifre" is particularly annoying; it would be nice if Lojban song 
allowed elision of the final vowel of a gismu. "fe mi litru" ought to be 
"mo'i zo'a mi litru"; I considered "i le be mo'i zo'a mi litru" as an
alternative.
