– Tow... Ugh! What is that word?
This is some word that does not
rhymes.
noses N. N.,
"the adventures of dunno and his friends»,
Chapter 4.
& nbsp; ....................................
For Pity's Sake, Buttercup! No rhyme for "tow"?!
Are you a versifier?"..
Well, okay-dunno come up with for " tow»
Could not do anything except "smali" and "rvali»:
That's why he's a dunce, isn't it?..
But you are a poet! You could for " tow»
Find something wittier " Buckley»,
And "vakili" and "Gali" and "decli" and "makli"...
I'm sorry, but... you're not one of those scribblers are you,
That, having achieved fame, shamefully softened,
Soul, body, and heart went limp,
Weakened, cooled – and instantly dried up?..
There is no rhyme for" tow"!.. And how – "the pinnacles»,
"Performances", "dried up", "limp", "softened"?
And what about the Caucasian dwelling-saklya?
(Not bad rhyme "saklya" and "tow"... ?)
You don't even remember your colleague – Trakl!..
...I'm ashamed of you. And it's a shame for the tow.
Poor thing! Slipped "maklu" and "rvalue»
To her as a rhyme!.. And the "Buccleuch," and "ACLU»,
And "ACLU" and "dalu" and ugly "maklu"!..
And, it is terrible to think, but-whether such, whether so –
No one stood up for poor tow!
No one comforted the poor thing nor " sackley»,
No name-rare, but sonorous-Heraclius
(Inaccurate rhyme, but-rhyme, isn't it?),
Or even the name of the towers – "the pinnacles"...
No one remembered about "performances" and " Trakl»,
And also about "Mac", "limp", "softened"...
...But the time has come. Rejoice, tow!
Poet (let him be known less than Trakl) –
Not one of those shamefully soft ones,
Soul, body, and heart went limp,
Weakened, cooled and instantly dried up, –
You monoram dedicates – "About pacle"!
So enjoy it...
...Caucasian Irakli,
Pensive after watching the play
And after reading the volume of Trakl,
Walking in the direction of his own Suckley –
And I thought: "Today during the performance
The dance was performed... It was not the hopak it?..
No, not the hopak! Heraclius laughed. –
Most amusing lapse!.. Mercy, isn't it
Dance the hopak!.."Laughing, Heraclius
He thought again. "And not Trepak whether
Did the actors dance during the performance?..
No, not a rattle..."Heraclius Was Upset.
Exclaimed: "What is it during the performance
Did you dance?".. Not Krakowiak you?..»
"And yet," said Heraclius, angry, –
I don't care! Hopak Li, Trepak Li,
Boston whether it was a cotillion, cracovienne whether, –
What do I care?"And said Heraclius
To himself, in response: "no, is Not it?»
"There are things much more important than performances
And dancing, " said Heraclius reasonably. –
For example, my house, my dear saklya...
Beautiful saklya", - said Irakli.
"However," admitted Heraclius, after a moment's reflection, –
It would be much more beautiful than saklya,
If she had, say, four pinacles...
There are four pinacles on each wall!»
... "What! - inspired by the idea of Heraclius. –
You will fit me to his hut, the pinnacles!»
But no matter how hard I tried, a-sort of, right –
I couldn't even think of my own sakla
To put the pinnacles Caucasian Heraclius.
And spat Heraclius in the hearts of the pinnacles:
"And Ah their quite! Don't need my sakla
Some kind of pinacles, you know!
There was half a century without them my saklya –
And a century without pinacles, isn't it?..
That's what she really needs, sakle, –
So this is a package of excellent tow!
After all, tow - & nbsp; reasonably said Heraclius, –
All the cracks will I be able to plug in my hut!
...Useful thing, this very tow!
More useful, perhaps, than any pinacle,
Much more useful than any performance,
And dancing, and even Trakl's poetry!..» –
"Long live the hemp!"- exclaimed Heraclius.
And again he exclaimed: "Long live tow!»
And with this exclamation the Caucasian Heraclius
I ran to the store for a bag of tow...
...I could write for a long time about tow
(And also about sakla, performances and Trakla,
And also about how the Caucasian Heraclius
Adapting the same to the pinnacles hut), –
But I need a new rhyme for " tow»
Readers will prompt: "Well, isn't he a fool?»
...Therefore, it is worth, perhaps, on the tow
(As well as on sakla, performances and Trakla,
And the fool, prelative to the pinnacles hut)
Put a stop to me... It's worth it, isn't it?
