POETS’ CORNER
Vladimir mayakovsky
АМЕРИКАНСКИЕ РУССКИЕ
Петров
Капланом
за пуговицу пойман.
Штаны заплатаны,
как балканская карта.
"Я вам, сэр,
назначаю апойнтман.
Вы знаете,
кажется, мой апартман?
Тудой пройдете четыре блока,
потом
сюдой дадите крен.
А
если
стриткара набита,
около
можете взять
подземный трен.
Возьмите
с меняньем пересядки тикет
и прите спокойно,
будто в телеге.
Слезайте на корнере
у дрогc ликет,
а мне уж
и пинту
принес бутлегер.
Приходите ровно
в севен оклок,—
поговорим
про новости в городе
и проведем
по-московски вечерок,—
одни свои:
жена да бордер.
А с джабом завозитесь в течение дня
или
раздумаете вовсе —
тогда обязательно
отзвоните меня.
Я буду в офисе".
«Гуд бай!»—
разнеслось окрест
и кануло ветру в свист.
Мистер Петров
пошел на Вест,
а мистер Каплан —
на Ист.
Здесь, извольте видеть, "джаб",
а
дома
"цуп" да "цус".
С насыпи
язык
летит на полном пуске.
Скоро
только очень образованный
француз
будет
кое-что
соображать по-русски.
Горланит
по этой Америке самой
стоязыкий
народ-оголтец.
Уж если
Одесса — Одесса-мама,
то Нью-Йорк —
Одесса-отец.
