Anna Robbins All right, hopefully you guys haven't heard this one before! And i you have, perhaps you have yet to translate it 
Have fun with this one; it's not going to be anywhere near as difficult as Victor's round, so consider it a break 
And here is the text:
W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie,
i Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie.
Wół go pyta: "Panie chrząszczu,
Po cóż pan tak brzęczy w gąszczu?"

"NOOOOOO! Don't let Billy see it!"
Billy James Brightraven All my knowledge of Polish is based on having listened to Donatan and having seen Stara Baśn: kiedy Słońce było Bogiem… that and having taken some BCS and spent time on PSl. etyma.
that and having taken some BCS and spent time on PSl. etyma.Anna Robbins Well then.
So far, what you have is pretty much correct, besides missing words and slightly rearranged word order or forms.
I think you'll make quick work of this

Billy James Brightraven In Szczebrzeszyn a beetle buzzes in the reed(s),
And for this, Szczebrzeszyn is famous.

I found the words, hoho! trzcina (f.) of which trzcinie is lok. sg., and gąszcz

I think it might have been more difficult, if I had recorded audio, but I think everyone had quite enough of audio in the last round.
