STILL LIFE Bashny.Net

< Naum Sagalovsky

Order a still life, so looking at me from the wall,
to please the eye, the light appeared in the apartment.
Draw me, the artist, four hundred grams of ham,
salted cucumbers Nezhin four pieces,
half a loaf of rye, salad, a bowl of borscht -
and in Mosul plate and tablespoon of sour cream,
two chicken tobacco, to cry to me, trembling,
young garlic in the midst of boiled peas,
and the third - compote. Try - not very thick.
Can be a bit of fruit, strawberries, bananas - and that's that.
And will the paint - you somewhere side Annex to
unforgettable cup about a hundred and fifty grams.
And then I'll tell you - you are an artist, not an amateur,
and to rank you in the golden fund deserted!
Just scary to think what you're wasted talent,
no chickens or borscht - daub, you know, the Mona Lisa ...
