Boris and Sasha

Boris and Sasha were droogies
They liked to go out for a drink
And Boris would say to Sasha
Tell me, what do you think?
They were great friends
But it wouldn’t last long
They ordered a couple of brewskis
They ordered some vodka as well
But then they started talkin’ ‘bout poetry
And everything went to hell
They were feelin’ all right
But they were acting all wrong
Sasha said poems were worthless
Sasha said poems were bad
Sasha shouldn’t have said that
Because Boris got pretty mad
He said think what you like
But you are thinking all wrong
What about Pushkin and Wordsworth
What about Shelley and Blake?
Well, Pushkin was a plonker
And Shelley was a big flake
They thought they could write
But they were doing it wrong
Boris picked up a knife from the table
Probably there to cut bread
He said you’re an illiterate moron
And he stabbed poor Sasha dead
He was a poetry fan
And his feelings were strong
The moral of this story
If anyone had any doubt
Is that some poetry lovers
Should maybe chill the f**k out
That’s all I have to say.
