ISO short Russian poem for beginners

[Susan Bauckus]

I know nothing about Nikolaj Glazkov but very much like this poem of his from 1944:

За то, что Глазков
Ни на что не годен,
Кроме стихов,
Ему надо дать орден.


[Za to, chto Glazkov

Ni na chto ne goden,

Krome stikhov,

Emu nado dat' orden.]

a page of his poetry, including the one above, can be found at:

Factoid: According to the Russian Wikipedia Glazkov played the flying peasant in the arresting first scene of Tarkovskij's Andrej Rublev.
