Tо Rita

Виктор Скормин
When farmers were harvesting apples and corn
A cute little girl was in Rochester born
Her mother called Mary and father called Max
Were happily serving some bagels and lox
A present arrived from the neighbor next door
Who happened to be just a live dinosaur...
I shouldn't be hinting the issue of age
I'm going through 40th annual page
But I can recall not with shame but with joy
That some dinosaurs lived when I was a boy
