Hedgehog And The Brush ~ Jež I Četka Poem by Jankovic Zoran

It was, once a long time ago,
So long ago that I wonder
how I remembered this,
in a hotel at sea wooed me
some beautiful wife.

When she realized that I didn't want her,
and that I see only a fairy tale in it,
she took out the last trump card:

"Tell me, crazed writer of fairy tales,
how would our sex look like? "

"It would be a great fairy tale."
I answered mysteriously.

I took out my notebook and pen,
(In that time we all wrote that way
because there were no computers.) ,
and I wrote a poem that
roughly, read as follows:

"If the hedgehog climbed to a lovebrush,
perhaps, he would not be surprised,
maybe it would be nice to him,
but he could not be happy
because the brush would end up in the closet
someone, a crazed writer of fairy tales."

Jež i četka

Jednom davno, toliko davno
da se čudim kako sam ovog sjetio,
u nekom hotelu na moru,
udvarala mi se lijepa žena.

Kad je shvatila da je ne želim,
i da u njoj vidim samo bajku,
izvadila je poslednji adut:

"Reci mi, zaluđeni pišče bajki,
kako bi izgledao naš seks? "

"Bila bi to odlična bajka."
Odgovorio sam zagonetno.

Izvadio sam notes i olovku
(Tada smo svi tako pisali
jer nije bilo računara.)
i napisao sam pjesmu koja
je, otprilike, glasila ovako:

"Kada bi se jež popeo na ljubavnu četku
možda ne bi bio iznenađen,
možda bi mu bilo lijepo,
ali ne bi mogao da bude sretan
jer bi četka završila u ormanu
nekog, zaluđenog pisca bajki."
