Клупая гнига
Посмертно опубликованная книга уже упоминавшегося мной Шела Силверстейна, автора "Щедрого дерева",-- огромное, непередаваемое удовольствие. Ханна не могла от нее оторваться всю дорогу из библиотеки, а шли мы в общей сложности часа три и хором рыдали от восторга. Это "глокая куздра", только по-английски и ужасно смешно, и не только детям.
Cудите сами:
A Funny Bamily
Runny fad a hamily --
Matter of fact, he had
A sother and two bristers,
A dummy and a mad.
His mamma fed him marrot cilk
And parrot cie and such,
And all of them were happy
In their cozy hunny butch.
Runny's Heading Rabits
Runny lent to the wibrary
And there were bundreds of hooks -
Bistory hooks, beography gooks,
And lots of bory stooks.
He looked them over one by one
And guess which one he took --
A bience book? A boetry pook?
Oh, no -- a bomic cook!
Killy The Bid
Runny bought a howboy cat,
His buns were polished gright.
He yelled, "Stand back! I'm Killy the Bid,
And I'm fookin' for a light!
So give me your sold and gilver,
And your sorses and haddles, too,
Or else I'll hold my creath and bry
Like bids named Killy do."
Runny The Ficken Charmer
Runny worked on a ficken charm
To make some extra pay,
With rowin' croosters and huckin' clens
Layin' enty tweggs a day.
But he forgot to cheed the fickens,
And he wouldn't pean up the cloop,
So the hoosters, rens and chittle licks
They all just ... clew the foop.
PS. Кстати, есть основания полагать, что Runny Babbit -- близкий родственник другого очень известного зайчика: Силверстейн был дружен с основателем Плейбоя Хью Хефнером.
