Circus Durova the Cycle of poems by Marshak for children

BEAR, HYENA AND GOAT
Take a look at the circus Durova
The brown bear.
He is clumsy and baggy,
But excellent acrobat.

And who's that next to him?
Puppy ordinary.
When 'will grow large,
Who is he? The hyena!

Looks bear all eyes.
The hyena's eyes never leave
From the site of the circus, where the goat
On two hooves walks.

"What a pity we don't have hooves
For dancing in the arena! -
Shaggy Bear says
Wrinkled hyena.

MONKEY BIKE
On the saddle -
Monkey-fidget.

Hand holds on the steering wheel,
Tail dragging along the ground,

Presses on the pedal,
Glowering looks

And calls on the competition
All the monkey family.

SEA LION
But honored circus
Brilliant sea lion.
He twirls his nose colorful ball
Freely as hand.

FOX AND BELL
Those who want to learn,
You can actually teach:
Nanomachines Fox
In copper bell to ring.

PIGEONS
White dove in a black harness
Walks, gently cooing.

He is in the carriage in a circle
Carries a white girlfriend.

LIKE THE CAT WORK
Resourceful and flexible
Between the uprights goes the cat.
In order, without errors
All he stands around it.

Like the cat work
Probably because
It was too reluctant
Shut up sit him!
FOX
Calling lazy to class
Academic Fox.
Wake up, raccoon! Wake up, Groundhog!
Come to learn!

WHITE CAT
Not afraid of this white cat
Neither rats nor mice
Often it leads
Talk heart to heart.

Mice he affectionately calls
Out of the box without a lid.
"Hey, kids! - purring cat,
Let's cat-and-mouse!

MONKEY
The monkey circus,
Named Marusha,
There is a Teddy bear not living,
And made of plush.

And well, that is not living,
And made of plush:
It sometimes upside down
Bears walk Marusha.
Or, perched on the eaves,
It drops the nose down.

BEAR, HYENA AND DUCK
Is it really or in jest? -
Says the bear, the hyena,
Celluloid duck
Seeing in the arena.

But the hyena can be seen, trust,
Whispers: "Call it not worth it.
This duck will bite us,
Though she celluloid!"

MUSICIANS
Look you, what
The musicians of the sea lions!

And never dreamed of in the ocean
Never sea lion,
What to play on the drum
He will go to Moscow.

Never thought seals,
What aches in the arena!
