THE BEAR AND THE STUMP -------------------------------------------------------- With own sclatic sat on Stump, The Bear - King of forest's beasts Belched openly without dump, And said - I'd judge yours evil breasts. -------------------------------------------------------- In this way Themis very simple, An eye don't blink not once, That oak can produce an apple, And Hare can shock Fox by chance. -------------------------------------------------------- Tremulous bestial world compacted, Affected judge to see be puzzled, Old Wolf their tail urgently drafted, Instead of Hare bit pussy-cat. -------------------------------------------------------- Their scaltic over Stump he raised, Decided lot of Wolf as a rule. But Stump prompts scaltic other praise, The Bear knew - it is not a true. -------------------------------------------------------- "Why you old Wolf", said he, "bit kitty, For this we'll cut off your a tail!" "Faggot of tail?", told Wolf with pity, "By what I'd sweep up my a trail?" -------------------------------------------------------- Of course, the Bear understood, And Wolf was set free in the wood. Next day poor fellow climb a Stump, But Hare smelt,- the Bear' judge stank. -------------------------------------------------------- 2012 -------------------------------------------------------- by Vasiliy Panchenko (vipanch), 2012 |
