The following is a poem I wrote about my Mother-in-law then translated into Klingon and back to English for fun.

The Original

---

NEVER CALL YOU MOTHER

by Lyda Mae (RavenDove) Huff

---

I will Never

Call you Mother

---

That is what we agreed

---

And when you die

No epitaph will I write

---

I will deliver

No curse

Upon your grave

---

And shower

No praise

---

For others to see

---

I will not

Try to please you

---

There really

Is no point

---

You say

You'll never love me

---

I cannot make you

---

I will not try again

---

And let you

Break My Heart

---

For I cannot

Unlove you

---

No matter how many

---

Mean things you say

---

Unintending

Retranslated to English

MY MOTHER NAME YOU NEVER

by Lyda Mae (RavenDove) Huff

---

I Never

Will call you My Mother

On this thing We Agreed

---

When you die

Your Honor I refuse to write or proclaim

---

I refuse to give insult to your memory

And I refuse to give Honor

Anyone can see

---

I refuse to seek Honor seen in Your Eyes

You will never be satisfied seeing My Honor

---

You say

You will never call me beloved

I can never Force you

I will never try too

And let you Cut My Heart

---

I can never not call you Beloved

---

Even when

So Many Disgraced and Injuring things

You say

In error or by accident
