Oh! I’ve Seen Stars! Poem by Konstantin Ananin

- Oh! I’ve seen stars!
_________________- Where?
________________________- Here!
- In the daytime? It beats all, dear!
- I wonder if you saw the coconut palm
Yesterday.
__________- Yes.
_______________- My head’s like a drum
As a coconut has beaten my crown.
- What a big bump! Let’s go to town
And see the doctor. But first of all I
Must bandage up your head, then I’ll drive
The car. Cheer up! Don’t moan. Sit still.
- It beat my brains out…
___________________- But didn’t kill.
