you're addressing a cat-ish useful-thing and not saying anything to
it. =P

You really should indicate the cmavo stress when you do that.
puZUvu zasti fa lo nanmu
poi ponse lo cmalu danlu
.i RI ze'e sipna
gi'E mutce citka
doi mlatu plixau fi su'O da xu
Of course, for it to be a perfect limerick (every third beat
stressed), it would have to be this, which is incorrect:
puZUvu zaSTI fa lo NANmu
poi PONse lo CMAlu . DANlu
.i RI ze'e SIPna
gi'E mutce CITka
doi MLAtu pliXAU fi su'O da xu
So the last line is not too long at all, but you have two brivla
stressed on the wrong syllable (and one not stressed at all), and an
awkward pause in line two. You can sort of fudge the stress by, say,
making the first syllable higher-pitched and the second syllable
louder, but eh.

I didn't know the rule about the third syllable. I was just loosely trying to fit the rythm of there once was a X from Y. Thanks for the input. I'll have to keep that in mind next time

You can say "doi mlat." That's not a problem.

We have dotside now. It's pretty cool.
Also, I hear they're proposing a change in meaning for {lo}.

Haha ok ok. I know xorlo has been widely accepted but it's harder to discern peoples mood on dotside. It doesn't seem like I usually see doi .lindar. :)

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.
