Честь шахматной короны I. Подготовка [Chest' shahmatnoj koroni I- Podgotovka] [Transliteration]

YA krichal: "Vy chto tam, obaldeli? -

Uronili shakhmatnyy prestizh!"

Mne skazali v nashem sportotdele:

"Aga, prekrasno - ty i zashchitish'!

No uchti, chto Fisher ochen' yarok, -

Dazhe spit s doskoyu - sila v yem,

On igrayet chisto, bez pomarok..."

Nichego, ya tozhe ne podarok, -

U menya v zapase - khod konem.

Okh vy muskuly stal'nyye,

Pal'tsy tsepkiye moi!

Eh, reznyye, raspisnyye

Derevyannyye lad'i!

Drug moy, futbolist, uchil: "Ne boysya, -

On k takim partneram ne privyk.

Za tyly i tsentr ne bespokoysya,

A igray po krayu - napryamik!.."

YA naleg na beg, na stometrovki,

V bane ves sognal, otlichno splyu,

Byli po khokkeyu trenirovki...

V obshchem, posle etoy podgotovki -

YA yego bez mata zadavlyu!

Okh, vy sil'nyye ladoni,

Myshtsy krepkiye spiny!

Eh vy koni moi, koni,

Oh vy milyye slony!

"Ne speshi i, glavnoye, ne gorbis', -

Tak bokser besedoval so mnoy, -

V blizhniy boy ne lez', rabotay v korpus,

Pomni, chto koronnyy tvoy - pryamoy".

Chest' korony shakhmatnoy - na karte, -

On ot porazhen'ya ne uydet:

My sygrali s Talem desyat' partiy -

V preferans, v ochko i na billiarde, -

Tal' skazal: "Takoy ne podvedet!"

Oh, rel'yef muskulatury!

Del'tovidnyye - sil'ny!

Chto mne yego legkiye figury,

Eti koni da slony!

I v bufete, dlya drugikh zakrytom,

Povar uspokoil: "Ne robey!

Ty s takim prekrasnym appetitom -

Vraz proglotish' vsekh yego koney!

Ty prisyad' pered dorogoy dal'ney -

I beri s pitaniyem ryukzak.

Na dvoikh gotov' pirog paskhal'nyy:

Etot Shifer - khot' i genial'nyy, -

A nebos' pokushat' ne durak!"

Oh my - krepkiye oreshki!

My koronu - privezem!

Spat' lozhus' ya - vrode peshki,

Prosypayusya - ferzem!
