Kids Mustn’t Make Noise. Poem by Konstantin Ananin

- Granny, the soup should be hot.
- Everyone! Here!
________________- What?
Dear me! What’s happening?
- We thought Nick wouldn’t begin
To speak!
__________- Yes? ! !
_________________- At last he spoke
Some moments ago!
- Nick! You’re 7! Why hadn’t
You spoken before?

Mama, everything had been
All right till then.
________________- But you could think
Of us!
