(define-key global-map [f5] "lirum larum ")

Or you could define a keyboard macro.

I think you need a bit of Lisp code for this:

(define-key global-map [f5]
  (lambda ()
    (interactive)
    (insert (concat "lirum larum "
		    (user-full-name)
		    " "
		    (current-time-string)
		    " "))))

This is rather depreciated in this forum for several reasons. It is
better to discuss solutions to problems publicly. If the answer is
trivial, the regulars may decide to send you a private mail, but let
the regulars decide that.
