В Англии вечно дожди и туманы:
Дождь как из сита льёт, моросит,
Ну, а туманы гуще сметаны –
В воздухе шляпу повесишь – висит!
Эти туманы – ужасное бедствие:
Выйдешь на улицу – видимость «нуль».
Едешь, к примеру, в город Манчестер,
А попадешь вдруг в Ливерпуль!
Из-за погоды этой туманной
В Англии жить бесконечный абсурд:
Каши на завтрак попросите манной,
Вам вместо манки овсянку дадут…
