scenario

***

I invite you in English boat,
old and leaky like English throat.
Leave your Russian-pa-Russian talk,
jump in now, let's rock!

We can travel by sea or land,
we can travel to past or future.
I'm sure you're understand
you'll get it - saying "kruche".

Russian never employ your heart,
never raps your soul in glory,
in Russian you were 'gud'
hissing - 'memento mory'.

And your boyish transparent look
they cemented in ugly body
and now you look as a crook
or a breast of Taho Gody.

Are you jumping...forgot to tell
time is never as good as now.
Listen: Hertsen glorious bell
has been melted in heavy crown,

in sunrise of neo Gulag,
resurrection of Iron Felix,
brown & black flag
unfurling like black Phoenix...

So time to unchain your heart,
squeeze the slavery off your soul...
I invite you to English Grad,
I invite you to English Pole!
