25. There was an Old Man of Columbia...

Перевод:
Поднесли колумбийскому дону
Пиво тёплое в медном бидоне;
Дон заметил, что дважды лучше сдохнуть от жажды,
Чем от тёплого пива в бидоне.

Edward Lear. A Bvook of Nonsense

There was an Old Man of Columbia,
Who was thirsty, and called out for some beer;
But they brought it quite hot, in a small copper pot,
Which disgusted that man of Columbia.
