Analysis of Just skill
Leonid Rozumenko 1961 (Kyiv)
Smart people may have money
Just using their mind
But wise and pretty honey -
Just skill to make them blind.
The contemplative silence
Serves well if it is noticed.
It wraps the poor parlance
In pretty graceful clothe.
Yet fancier¹ could be wild
If he will get this offer:
“Madonna with the child
Of the unknown author”.
If a key of new Mercedes
Had open woman's heart
Next fun may tease the madness
With a buzz of the infarct²!
¹Fancier – serious amateur, collector-discoverer
²Infarct – heart attack
