Из Киплинга. Четверка слуг есть у меня
I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);Their names are What and Why and WhenAnd How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,I send them east and west;But after they have worked for me,I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five,For I am busy then,As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;I know a person small-She keeps ten million serving-men,Who get no rest at all!
She sends'em abroad on her own affairs,From the second she opens her eyes-One million Hows, two million Wheres,And seven million Whys!
The Elephant's Child
Четверка слуг есть у меня,Я верил им не раз,Их имена - Хуйня, Брехня,Пшолнах и Пидарас.
Всегда работу им найдуИ шлю я их, дружок,На север, запад, юг, в пизду,А также на восток.
Даю им отдых часто я,Но я - не эталон:Одна знакомая мояИмеет миллион
Бессменных слуг, чьих погонялУпомню врядли я,Лишь сотню тысяч ЗаебалИ двести тысяч Бля.
