(单词翻译:单击)

by Charles Simic

    If you didn't see the six-legged dog,

    It doesn't matter.

    We did, and he mostly lay in the corner.

    As for the extra legs,

    One got used to them quickly

    And thought of other things.

    Like, what a cold, dark night

    To be out at the fair.

    Then the keeper threw a stick

    And the dog went after it

    On four legs, the other two flapping1 behind,

    Which made one girl shriek2 with laughter.

    She was drunk and so was the man

    Who kept kissing her neck.

    The dog got the stick and looked back at us.

    And that was the whole show.
