Wizyta u Krowy

 "Czy zdrowa
    pani krowa,
    czy nie boli ją głowa?"
	   "Bardo Krzysi i Lalce dziękuję,
	   nie nadto dobrze się cruję!
	   Pastwisko
	   jest nie blisko
	   i folwark leży u wody na nizko.
	   Kiedy się kto robi stary,
	   szkodzą mu spacer daleki i zimne opary."

by Kazimiera Iłłakowicza (1892-1983)

A visit to Mrs. Cow

 "Are you well,
 Mrs. Cow,
 have you got a headache?"
 "it's nice of you to ask, Chris and Dolly, 
 1 am not too well! 
 The green pasture 
 is so far, 
 the farmyard too low down in the valley.
 When you are getting old, 
 it's no good for you to stir far in the cold morning mist."
