Edward Lear (Эдвард Лир)

* * *

There was an old man of Thermopylæ,
Who never did anything properly;
    But they said, "If you choose, 
    To boil eggs in your shoes,
You shall never remain in Thermopylæ."

* * *

Старичок, уроженец Гранады,
Поступает совсем как не надо.
	Если снова сардинки
	Он зажарит в ботинке,
Будет выселен он из Гранады!
