"The Cat" by Ogden Nash


You get a wife, you get a house,
Eventually you get a mouse.
You get some words regarding mice,
You get a kitty in a trice.

By two a.m. or thereabouts,
The mouse is in, the cat is out.
It dawns upon you, in your cot,
The mouse is silent, the cat is not.

Instead of kitty, says your spouse,
You should have got another mouse.


Сперва заводим мы жену и дом,
А мышь сама заводится потом.
Потом жена заводит в свой черёд
Речь о мышах и что, мол, нужен кот.

Заводим и кота. Узнав о том,
Мышь притихает и дрожит хвостом.
Зато как заведенный скачет кот
Всю ночь, пока не кончится завод.

Ничем котяру не угомонишь.
Уж лучше б я купил вторую мышь!

Огден Неш (перевод Г. Кружкова)
