I've written a few silly things. One was a Trek short story that
appeared in *jatmey*, and one I've put on the Web:

A third came about one {qep'a'} when we had one of our {qaDHommey},
where you open an envelope, find a phrase, and have to give a speech
about it in Klingon. Seqram joked that if we wanted to go all out we
could even write a poem in iambic pentameter with the phrase as the
acrostic. I, being a wiseguy, did exactly that while everyone else was
giving their speeches. I've still got the poem around somewhere; I
should put it on my website.
And, of course, Captain Krankor has written {taHjaj wo'} and {'Iv maH}.
