Free Cheese
Attention, guests and citizens,
Familiars, relatives!
Hey, would you like to get a gift-
Your easy bread, free cheese?
This luck can drop right from the sky,
And you don`t have to wait:
A lot of money, travelling,
? car, or real estate!
Don`t shy to take a part and win!
In the contests and actions!
Yes, I`ve been too, and trusted in -
In all these provocations:
Yes, I`ve been waiting and believed:
It`s mine! No, missed again...
And soon I understood: that`s it!
Be fooled – that`s all we can.
They feeding us with promises
And poison with a tales
In fact – result was known before
For us is just a fail.
So, throw off your naivety
It`s counted in advance
We will not be a favorites
On this feast of the false.
Though you are smart, brave, powerful -
Your hope here`s nothingness.
Cause all the prizes – for a closest
Relatives and friends.
And if we will catch anything -
They`ll try to find the worst.
Cause why to give an alien
The best, best present... Not!
So, let this cheese is sparkling, free
Lays on the golden plate -
But if it is not in the snare -
So, moulded and stale.
