Шел Силверстейн. Похищенный.
Или почему я опоздал в школу.
Меня украли утром
Три в масках человека,
Застав на тротуаре,
И угостив конфетой.
Когда я отказался –
За шиворот схватили,
И заломали руки,
И в лимузин втолкали –
На заднее сиденье.
Скрутили мне запястья
Шнуром колючим, ржавым,
И, завязав глаза мне,
Куда везут не знал чтоб, -
Заткнули ватой уши,
Чтоб разговор не слушал.
За 20 миль умчали,
Минут, примерно, - 20;
И кинули из тачки
В подвал сырой, холодный.
Зажали меня в угол,
За выкупом подались,
Но, стОрожа приставив,
С курком взведённым пушки.
А он уснул на стуле…
…а я вот – в школу пулей!

KIDNAPPED!
This morning I got kidnapped
By three masked men.
They stopped me on the sidewalk,
And offered me some candy,
And when I wouldn't take it
They grabbed me by the collar,
And pinned my arms behind me,
And shoved me in the backseat
Of this big black limousine and
Tied my hands behind my back
With sharp and rusty wire.
Then they put a blindfold on me
So I couldn't see where they took me,
And plugged up my ears with cotton
So I couldn't hear their voices.
And drove for 20 miles or
At least for 20 minutes, and then
Dragged me from the car down to
Some cold and moldy basement.
Where they stuck me in a corner
And went off to get the ransom
Leaving one of them to guard me
With a shotgun pointed at me,
Tied up sitting on a stool . . .
That's why I'm late for school!
