Their tears have run dry, tenderness has been slain,
They have forgotten the scent of grass and spring flowers,
They love the power of truck engines and the might of steamrollers
The song of sirens and the motion of wheels ...

I'm serious! And these are almost literally the original verses, that I used!

See - this is how some of the original Kirillov poem went:

Quote:

We are the countless, dread legions of Labor.
We are the conquerors of seas, oceans and land,
We have illumined cities with the light of artificial suns,
Our proud souls burn with the fire of rebellion,

[..]

Our tears have run dry, tenderness has been slain,
We have forgotten the scent of grass and spring flowers,
We love the power of steam and the force of dynamite,
The song of sirens and the motion of wheels and shafts ...


See - it only needed the slightest of modifications to fit those chickens just perfectly ... <giggles> (Soviet poems are soooo easy to parody)

I had to be more creative with the Mayakovsky one ;-)

Found out my niece and nephews are going to be coming here for Xmas! Plus the one sister I have, besides Montana, that lives far away. The news has chased my humbug away!

Ya know Brand X, I really should know for obvious reasons, but are you my sister or brother? Not that gender matters, but the curiosity is killing me.

I smiled when i woke up and realized that I'm an awesome individual.


I also smiled when I signed onto a2k and got laughs upon laughs (upon more laughs).
