I am in Odessa on the main street

On a pedestal I overtop

A lot of people I meet and greet

Their asses on me they drop.

 

A chair made of bronze!

Have you ever heard of that?

The other chairs are pawns.

With them I ignore to chat.

 

Every day I’m admired,

Became a hero of the day

I’d love to say I’m never tired

And never wish to hit the hay.

 

Why am I so famous?-one might ask.

The treasures were hidden in my seat.

To find them was not an easy task

As I was one out of 12 and no cheat.

 

The first of April is today,

A Humorina in Odessa-city

A sunny day! A funny day!

And all around look so pretty!

 

Humor is in the City Garden,

Laugh and joy are on the streets!

Someone said: I beg your pardon

If my voice a bit of bleats.

 

You can sit on me and take a picture,

So that to fix that beautiful moment.

It will be for life the best capture

For your offspring the best comment.

 

The best music I’ve heard today,

Different orchestras I did enjoyed.

More then that - I would like to say:

Some … got rid of the hemorrhoid.

 

Laughing so much together with men

I know for sure what health improves.

Come and sit on me again.

And your troubles my seat removes.

 

I would like  every day to be like that.

Listening to music, laughter and jokes,

Being jazzed by funny acts, let’s bet,

Your life prolongs and love evokes. 

   

If I had a mouth I would  say:

It was really the greatest day!

The day of different adventures

And all people were not strangers.
