The Caudle:

“thank you may i have another”

thank you may i have another
as you drink
thank you may i have another
as you think
thank you may i have another
maybe i should stop
thank you may i have another
nah im ok its only 9 o’clock
the drunk walks into the bar…
“stupid bar, get out of my way….”

The Classic:

 
“Do Not Sing to Me Again”
By Alexander Pushkin

Do not sing to me again
Your songs of sad Georgia.
They bring to memory
Another life, a distant shore.

Your cruel songs bring close
The steppe, the night—the features
Of a distant, humble girl
In the moonlight.

I see you, and straightaway
Her features disappear;
You sing…straightaway
I imagine her.

Do not sing to me again
Your songs of sad Georgia.
They bring to memory
Another life, a distant shore.

-1828
Translated from the Russian by D.M. Thomas
