What is the name of this street?
This is some Mandelshtam lane.
Hey, what a damn twisted name?
Wrench it again and again.
It sounds askew, not straight.
Truly, his mood was non-linear,
His manners were far from lily-white,
No one could stroke him or tame,
This is the reason why this blind lane
Carries the ill-fated name
Of aforesaid poor guy Mandelshtam.
