Li Lit Ly Lung

A poem written by Belinda Banh

Li lit ly lung                                  

Land li loudly lung

 

Lo le lospital li lo

Li lud lun, lut lo low

 

lime lonly la turtle

 

Little ly little, li lake la lep

Lonly lo lee

ly turtle leet

Leize

 

Translation:                                                                                                                                           I bit my tongue

And I loudly sung

 

To the hospital I go

I would run, but to know

 

 I’m only a turtle

 

Little by little, I take a step

Only to see

my turtle feet

seize
