Sergei Jargin
Moscow, Russia
(After Edgar Allan Poe)
Not Pushkin am I, neither Poe,
So great is not my fame.
I am a humble Russian poet,
S. Jargin is my name.
To plagiarize is worse than steal
We love the Copyright,
And by quotations we reveal
The source from which we write.
Great Bear is roaring in morass
And rising up upright,
Reminding Russian writers must
Respect the Copyright.
The Wolf is howling in the wood,
His dreams have flown before –
Deploring that Red Riding Hood
Will eat he – nevermore!
And just alike the fraudster should
Forget his hope and lore
That his unfair practice would
Bring profit – nevermore!
