От томата станешь ал
(так мой дедушка считал).
От моркови станешь жёлт,
Навсегда ли, знает чёрт.
Зеленеешь? Виноват
Уничтоженный шпинат.
Так ли это всё, хэзэ -
Всё равно я шимпанзе.
Vegetables
Eat a tomato and you'll turn red
(I don't think that's really so);
Eat a carrot and you'll turn orange
(Still and all, you never know);
Eat some spinach and you'll turn green
(I'm not saying that it's true
But that's what I heard, and so
I thought I'd pass it on to you).
Shel Silverstein
