Playing with the Sun - Петр Тобуроков Страница 2

What a day,

Mommy gave me candy!

Tuesday –

Time to play

With my teddy bear

On Wednesday

In the garden

I watered cabbage then

On Thursday

Along with my sister

I was in the forest

Friday

Was a movie night

With Steve, my bud.

Eight

Once lived a family:

Brother, sister

Granddad, grandma,

Dasha, Mary

Misha, Gregor

Count on your fingers –

Eight, of course!

Nine

Nine big heads

Nine narrow horns

Nine bandy legs

Nine splayed hands

Powerful and huge beast

Slowly moving forward

See! It’s coming to us,

Let’s call the hero Nyurgun

He’ll capture it and lock away

Hooray!

About names

(fragment)

In the whole world

Everything has names!

A knife, an axe, an atlas

A scarf and gloves, a mattress

Fun and fuss, happiness

Even wooden house

Even pine doors -

Keep in mind, kids

Everything has names.
