Why don't you use `define-skeleton' instead of writing a defun with
`skeleton-insert'?

A skeleton may contain a sub-skeleton as an element. In this case it
is repeated until the user hits RET without having anything
entered. For example:

(define-skeleton my-comment
  "FIXME: documentation"
  nil
  "BEGIN NONSENSE" \n
  > "Everything on the following lines" \n
  > "is pure nonsense." \n
  ("Type a silly word: " "lirum larum -- " str & \n | -15)
  "END NONSENSE")
