ODE TO IGOR Here's to my Russian tractors,I hold them so dear They won't work in Kiev, they're no better here When it comes to quick repair, I'm really in luck My mechanic just ordered a second service truck Sadly, I bought them without any scrutiny I never expected my employees would mutiny The first thing I learned such a long time ago To get them to start, they must face towards Moscow The dealer he told me repairs wouldn't cost much But now every two weeks, they seem to need a new clutch The warranty details seemed a little bit murky It's apparently hard to translate the word "turkey" What's evident now and totally certain Is that repairs take more time than plowing and working Now life goes on and I would surely be playing If to my mechanic I did not have to keep continually paying.
