Гриф

Гриф пищу ест не по часам,
И, верно, потому,
Не так же, как ко мне и к вам
Жизнь благостна к нему.
Лыс череп, пуст и черен глаз,
И истончилась шея.
Какой пример для всех для нас
Не есть, когда стемнеет.


The Vulture

The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that's the reason why
He very, very rarely feels
As well as you and I.
His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh! what a lesson for us all               
To only eat at dinner!
