in one of my villages (yes, I'm a hillbilly)
lives a dumbass.
during the war he composed
folk-decasyllables
dedicated to president Tudjman.
that was then a popular hobby
in my homeland.
that, naturally, did not stop others
from considering him a dumbass.
except for old Ivan who would say:
"True, he's a dumbass, but, by God, everything falls into place for him."
he meant rhyme.
despite his ignorance of
the trends in contemporary poetry,
it cannot be denied that Ivan is
de facto an artist.
his peaches are always the fullest.
P.S. my apologies to the people of Naklice
who don't share my opinion regarding Ivan's peaches.
I wrote it because of the punch line.
P.P.S. my apologies to Ivan because of the apology to
the people of Naklice.
I wrote it so that
the punch line would not seem too cheesy.
