This is a synthesis of the broda family of gismu in Lojban. In order to properly understand this lojban text, you must conceive laughter ten thousand times. This is a reference to the Billion laughs attack that XML parsers can suffer from.

Translation:

Poem by Cadey Ten Thousand Laughs I laugh, and then I laugh, and then I laugh, and then I laugh (... 10,000 times in total).

This is roughly equivalent to the following XML document:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE lolz [ <!ENTITY lol "lol"> <!ELEMENT lolz (#PCDATA)> <!ENTITY lol1 "&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;"> <!ENTITY lol2 "&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;"> <!ENTITY lol3 "&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;"> <!ENTITY lol4 "&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;"> ]> <lolz>&lol4;</lolz>
