The sea of Finance - is not a place for jokes,
This is not a place for subtle poetry.
Pitching at schooner - a loss will occur,
and a steering here must be severe.
Here, the useless emotions' supression,
here indifference to the sea of 'whys',
here our sailor is strangled by deadlines,
and his being late can be always belied.
Here pedanticism knows no limits,
firmly dictating and personal life,
if just at two documents arn't submitted-
our ways will forever divide!
Just at eight and five - not a minute later!
for the departure is given long horn,
in sea of closing we go together -
or a financial drain will be clogged.
who arrived late - he is left behind the board.
flies like an arrow - a financial thought,
who has no time - will be looking from the shore
into the back of your ship's acrid smoke.

Море финансов - не место для шуток,
это не место для нежных стихов.
Качка на шхуне - убыток наступит,
и рулевой здесь быть должен суров.
Здесь подавленье эмоций ненужных,
здесь равнодушие к морю причин,
здесь наш матросик дэдлайном задушен,
и в опозданьях всегда уличим.
Здесь педантичность не знает пределов,
твердо диктуя и личную жизнь,
если в два ровно не сдал документы -
наши пути навсегда разошлись!
в восемь ноль пять - ни минутою позже!
дан для отплытия долгий гудок,
в море закрытия вместе выходим -
или забьется финансовый сток.
кто опоздает - остался за бортом.
мысли финансов - летят как стрела,
кто не успеет - пусть с берега смотрит
в едкий туман твоего корабля.
A great piece from an Accountant....Finance has only two pillars.....Procurement of funds and Effective utilization of funds.........Between them every other things swims...Lovely Liza enjoyed it.10

I would like to translate this poem
I have no talent for or skill with finances. Brava to you, Liza for developing your competence in financial affairs. But it appears to be often frustrating and always stressful. Brava to you for your perseverance. My grandfather used to say we have jobs to keep the wolf away from the door, in other words, if we didn't work in often difficult jobs we could not afford to live. This poem honestly assessing your job, it cleared the air you breathe so you can finish the work.
