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 did not cheat.


The first of April is today,
A Humorina in Odessa-city
A sunny day! A funny day!
And all around is so pretty!


Humor is in the City Garden,
Laughter and joy are on the streets!
Someone said: I beg your pardon
If my voice is a bit of bleat


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 enjoy.
More than that, I would like to say:
Some … got rid of the hemorrhoid.


Laughing so much together with men
I know for sure what health it improves.
Come and sit on me again.
And your troubles my seat removes.


I want 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.
