Один старичок из Виндет. Limerick
Один старичок из Виндет
Носил с детства свой синий жилет.
Удивлялся и стар и млад;
Был жилет бледноват, тесноват.
Но упрям был чудак из Виндет.
There was an Old Man of the West,
Who wore a pale plum-coloured vest;
When they said, 'Does it fit?'
He replied, 'Not a bit!'
That uneasy Old Man of the West.
by Edward Lear
