Стишок⁠⁠

— You don’t drink Jamaican rum.
Who are you and where’re you from?
Our honorable Thumb Tom.

He’s explaining in due course,
Smiling as a tour de force

— I am Russian of course
(give me пачку папирос).

It is not like a Jamaica
— Vodka, putin, balalaika...
Day by day,
One to another
Does the same,
A solid hour.
Stalin, Brezhnev and Khrushchev,
Perestroika, Gorbachev...

But one day around the corner,
"I’m a friend of Sarah Connor".
And in glove as coal black
Shook his finger "I’ll be back".

Ждем с тех пор его опять
И не станем горевать:
На Болотной, Моховой,
В Парке Горького гурьбой.

"Virgin Mary save us, please,
Терминатор, появись!"
