Date
Body
from Alexey Sklyarenko:

I thought I'd share with you this tiny poem:

Kot or - <который час> по-земблянски.

Kot or - словно время ускорило бег.

Kot or - спросил нас поэт славянский.

Kot or - о, как короток наш век!



Kot or - "what is the time" in Zemblan.

Kot or - as if time sped up.

Kot or - a Slav poet asked us.

Kot or - oh, how short our life is!

You will notice a palindrome in the last line.
