A Pie Rhyme

a human rights defender said you complain in vain about the life thanks be to god it’s a free country nobody's forcing you to live In modern Russian poetry, there is such a genre as "stish'ok-pirozh'ok" (a pie rhyme). It's an iambic tetrameter quatrain, a feminine ending in the first and third lines, no rhymes, punctuation and capital letters. The content is frivolous or humorous. Black humor is welcome. Something like an English limerick, but simpler. Hoping, the soupers would like it) * Translation. An anonymous poet.
