A small price with a fluffy tail

Sits little baby
on the porch,
quiet
is waiting

price reductions

yes in sadness
he looks at the window
on the pattern
ruble calico.
And the co-operative
office -
to marvel at.
Him
some kind of center
is
price lists.
Rats, stationery
Feathers lick,
and, clenching his teeth,
writes
calculation.
Vperili
glasses of a plate
in a host of numbers,
large
and small ones.
Arrange
numbers in a row,
lines
figures cave.
Two kopecks to us,
and they
we
rounded.
Free thought
there is no bridle!
It is not enough that -
fires,
shower…
On shrinkage
and leaks
we add
eight hryvnia.
Children are happy,
Dad is happy -
paid off the device.
So as not to go into detail,
up to the ruble
we'll put twenty.
But -
we do not value so;
from the amount
threw off a nickle.
As
we
and we can multiply,
amount
four times as many.
Farther -
the matter is clear:
we add
red.
Working hard
year,
like a wolf,
announced,
smart and zork:
ruble and forty -
total
two forty turns out.
"Where are two forty?" -
ask the enemy.
Ticks
by hand
in the fraction: look!

• Did you take beer?
• No, they did not.
• Oh, did not you take it ?!
  That means three. -
  Prices chintz,
  prices of threads
  in the centers
  swim like fish.
  The devil only knows them,
  that at a loss!
  The devil only knows them,
  that they are in profit!
  And the result is one:
  price
  a little penny
  from the centers
  comes to us
  with big
  fluffy tail.
  And in the village
  on the porch
  baby
  is waiting
  price reduction.
  To take away
  calculation
  yes, further
  walk them!
