Б. Заходер. Диета термита. To English
Said a termite to a termite:
“Yes, I really was determined
To be disciplined and try it —
This new alphabetic diet.
I ate airplanes, chewed up boats,
Candy canes and cashmere coats,
Munched on desks and dinner tables,
Easels, feather dusters, gables,
Gnawed a harness (right off the horse),
Fed on houses (of course!).
I ate inkwells, jellybeans,
Kettle drums and limousines.
Then I snacked on magazines,
Napkins, oil cans,
Pencils, quilts,
Rubber boots, a pair of stilts,
Tablecloths and tambourines,
Undershirts, vanilla beans,
Waffles, xylophones, a yurt,
And a zipper for dessert.
Yet I didn’t feel satisfied.”
“Right,” the other termite sighed,
“All these diets are too tricky.
I just eat and don’t get picky!”
