The Kremlin
Is the most beautiful thing
I have ever seen.
I passed it by
On different roads.
On the Moskva,
I passed it by
And never knew,
I would miss it so.
The cathedral
On the other side
With caterpillar cranes
And a golden dome
Shall I laugh or shall I not?
Maybe I am partial
Because of the lobster shop
Forty dollars fried in butter,
Thatās worth the piled up snow.
I will not forget
That it was the last imbibing
In the car;
Before we reached our star.
I will not forget
That we never picnicked
On the lawns of Mosfilmovskaya,
Just sandwiches would have done
From the bar;
Of the rented boat.
