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
