ZVAKA
Odluka je pala cvrsta,
jos me drze bube,
kada malo jos porastem
bicu Dr. za zube.
I kod mene nece biti
onih strasnih sprava,
plombi, burgija, igala
-
niceg sto je strava.
Izmislicu nesto ekstra
sto ce bol da spreci
-
specijalnu slatku
zvaku
koja zube leci.
Prozvaces je dva tri
puta
i pogledaj cuda,
odjednom ti osmeh
krase
zdravi zubi svuda!
Odluka je pala, ipak,
ovo dete moli
da ga prvo gornja
dvojka
prestane da boli.

THE CHEWING GUM
The decision has been
made:
I'll be an apprentice
and then when I'm
all grown up,
I'll become a dentist.
I will certainly not
have
those drills and those
pumps,
fillings or those
scary needles
that can give goosebumps.
I'll discover something
neat
for everyone's sake--
a special kind of
chewing gum
that cures the toothache.
You just chew it a
few times
and here comes the
treat:
Afterwards you grin
and smile
with all healthy teeth!
In order to make this
true
I first have to wake
and let someone do
their best
to end this tooth's
ache.
