Napoleon's Frog
Шуткой острой любил граф Кутузов
Подразнить отступавших французов.
«Бонапарт Напольон
Съел с лягушкой бульон».
Выдал как-то экспромтом Кутузов.
А. Дубровский, 2011
Prince Kutuzov liked to tease the retreating French with the acute joke. "Napoleon Bonaparte ate the soup with the frog. " Once he said impromptu. (makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).

He didn't like the cake idea
There was an Old Man of Berlin,
Whose form was uncommonly thin;
Till he once, by mistake,
Was mixed up in a cake,
So they baked that Old Man of Berlin.

I'll hang with you guys
There was an Old Man of the East,
Who gave all his children a feast;
But they all ate so much,
And their conduct was such,
That it killed that Old Man of the East.

Deadly muffin
There was an Old Man of Calcutta,
Who perpetually ate bread and butter;
Till a great bit of muffin,
On which he was stuffing,
Choked that horrid old man of Calcutta.

Waiting for the sun
There was a Young Lady of Turkey,
Who wept when the weather was murky;
When the day turned out fine,
She ceased to repine,
That capricious Young Lady of Turkey.
E.Lear, 1846
That’s what I call a good meal
There was an Old Person whose habits,
Induced him to feed upon Rabbits;
When he'd eaten eighteen,
He turned perfectly green,
Upon which he relinquished those habits.
E.Lear, 1846
Old Man of Moldavia
There was an Old Man of Moldavia,
Who had the most curious behaviour;
For while he was able,
He slept on a table,
That funny Old Man of Moldavia.
E.Lear, 1846
