Текст песни С.В. Михалков - Слон-живописец

Sergey Mikhalkov
ELEPHANT-PAINTER
Elephant painter wrote landscape,
But before sending it to the opening,
He invited friends to look at the canvas:
What if something did not it?
Attention our guest artist flattered!
What kind of criticism now hear it?
Do not be cruel animal trial?
Overthrown? Or ascend?

Connoisseurs come. Elephant painting discovered.
Who got next, who came closer.
& Quot; Well, what - began Crocodile -
 Landscape good! But I do not see the Nile ... & quot; -
& Quot; What the Nile is not, in fact there is not much trouble! -
Seal said. - But where is the snow? Where is the ice? & Quot; -
& Quot; Let! - Mole surprised. -
There is something more important than ice!
Forgot artist garden & quot ;. -
& Quot; Oink oink-- grunted Pig -
The painting was a success, my friends!
But in terms of us, pigs,
Should be acorns on it & quot ;.
All wish to be an elephant.
Again he took over the paint
And all your friends as much
Elephant brush lands,
Depicting snow and ice,
And Neil, and oak, and garden,
And even - honey!
(In case you suddenly Bear
Come now to look ...)

Picture of an elephant is ready,
Friends called an artist again.
Guests look at the landscape
And whispered: & quot; Jumble! & Quot;

My friend! Do not be so Elephant:
The Council should, but with the mind!
All friends not please,
Statement as only hurt.
