Interesting. Well, I'm currently revamping Wenedyk's verbal
paradigms, but this little poem is hardly affected by the changes.

(UTF-8)
Poźbła-Probabła, łu puła mia niegra, kód
Ponie świe owa en Kwądu Relatywu,
Nie ponie swór owór en Nęk Pozytywu,
Sięgłamięć prostokód ła nie sapie komód.

(ASCII-friendly)
Poz'bl\a-Probabl\a, l\u pul\a mia niegra, ko'd
Ponie s'wie owa en Kwa,du Relatywu,
Nie ponie swo'r ow'or en Ne,k Pozytywu,
Sie,gl\amie,c' prostoko'od l\a nie sapie komo'd.

(Literal translation)
Possible-Probable, that's my black hen, which
lays her eggs in the Relative When,
Does not lay her eggs in the Positive Now.
Only because she does not know how.

Later I might try to translate it into Dutch as well.
