The Russian English Russian
I am pure Russian and I am the bear
I have deep dark eyes and black , black hair
Russian girls are very pretty and very exciting bare
Straight and tall with features very fair
They are smart and have lots of brains
And apply themselves to learning even if it rains
English is one of our favorite subjects
And it is very hard to explain
Why we want to learn a second language that sometimes is lame
Which at the end of our most severe weather we can barely retain
It is winter now and my English is kind of sad
So I sit and study all night long ,
but after all its only a fad
For when summer comes I will be long, long gone
I try and try but it is so hard,
I can not seem to learn contractions
And sometimes I feel like I a retard,
So I make a list of all my retractions
Grammar is always difficult and I am always correcting my mistakes
But I love hearing English with all its corny cliques ,
and lots of people saying ,for goodness sakes
Thank goodness for this silly poem
Thank goodness this is the end
Thank goodness I will have no more use for this pen
