    Lightning streaked out of her eye:
    “I saw you
    with another lady.
    You’re the most heartless,
    the most horrible guy…”
    and went on,
    and went on,
    and went on, blaming.
    Listen, I’m an educated chap, darling,
    let’s just end it right there, don’t grumble.
    If I wasn’t killed by lightning,
    then, I swear,
    I’m not scared of thunder.


    Гейнеобразное

    Молнию метнула глазами:
    "Я видела -
    с тобой другая.
    Ты самый низкий,
    ты подлый самый..." -
    И пошла,
    и пошла,
    и пошла, ругая.
    Я ученый малый, милая,
    громыханья оставьте ваши,
    Если молния меня не убила -
    то гром мне,
    ей-богу, не страшен.


    Vladimir Mayakovsky, 1920
