The deaf once called the deaf to the deaf judge – right now;
The first deaf cried: “He’s spoiled my own cow!” –
“For goodness’ sake,” to that another blared,
“This plot belonged still to my late granddad!”
“To stop a sin,” decided the judge witty,
“The pal’s to marry her, though the wench is guilty.”

Translated by Yevgeny Bonver
