***

There was a big fluffy cat.

And it was really fat.

***

It was eating a lot,

There was a beautiful Snow White

Couldn’t go through the door.

For whom it was a great delight

That is why it was always so sad.

Eating sweets, ice cream and walnuts,

Lollypops, jam and chocolates.

What a beauty, sweet tooth Snow White.

***

There lived a strange man in a rock

***

Who had a very long sock

But when he wanted to throw it away,

There lived an old man in a farm

His life was totally saved

Who was fond of playing the drum.

By the sock which got stuck in the rock.

When his animals heard the sound,

They were running the farm all around.

So the drum brought the farm lots of harm.

***

There lived a nice little whale

Who dreamt of a really big tail.

***

He wanted to swim very fast,

There was a strange little monkey.

Because he was always the last.

It wanted to ride on a donkey.

Oh, poor nice little whale.

But the donkey was old,

And it fell on the road.

So, the trip was too short for the monkey.

«Лимерики нельзя переводить, их воссоздают “с ничего” на чужом языке. Переводчику, если он желает во что бы то ни стало сохранить за собой это звание, приходится действовать обходным манером»
