Uncle Styopa – Mikhalkov. The full text of the poem – Uncle Styopa

In the house eight fraction one
At the outpost of Ilyich
There lived a tall citizen,
By the name of Kalancha,

By the name of Stepanov
And by the name of Stepan himself,
Of the regional giants, the chief
.

Uncle Styopa was respected
For such a height.
Uncle Styopa was coming home from work –
It was visible from a mile away.

Famously measured steps
Two huge legs:
Forty-fifth size
He bought boots.

He was looking in the market for
Greatest boots,
He was looking for pants
Unbelievable width.

Will buy with grief in half,
Will turn to mirrors –
All tailor’s work
Is coming apart at the seams!

He looked through any fence
From the pavement looked into the yard.
They raised the barking of the dog:
They thought that a thief was climbing.

Took uncle Styopa in the dining room
Double lunch for myself.
Uncle Styopa went to bed –
He put his feet on a stool.

Sitting, he took books from the cupboard.
And more than once in the cinema
They said to him: – Sit on the floor,
You, comrade, don’t care!

But on the other hand, he went to the stadium
for free:
They let Uncle Styopa through –
They thought he was a champion.

From gate to gate
He knew all the people in the district,
Where Stepanov works,
Where he is registered,
How he lives,

Because everyone is faster,
Without much difficulty
He removed the kite for the guys
From the telegraph wires.

And someone who is small in stature,
Raised him at the parade,
Because everyone should
See the army of the country.

Everyone loved Uncle Styopa,
Respected Uncle Styopa:
He was the best friend
All the guys from all yards.

He hurries home from the Arbat.
— How are you? the guys shout.
He sneezes – the guys in chorus:
– Uncle Styopa, be healthy!

Uncle Styopa early in the morning
Quickly jumped up from the sofa,
Opened the windows wide,
Take a cold shower.
Brush your teeth Uncle Styopa
Never forgot.

A man is sitting in a saddle,
He is dragging his feet along the ground –
This is Uncle Styopa
On a donkey along the boulevard.
– You, – people shout to Stepan, –
You need to ride a camel!

He rode a camel –
People choke with laughter:
– Hey, comrade, where are you from?
You will crush the camel!
You, with your height,
You need to ride an elephant!

Two minutes for Uncle Styopa
It remains before the jump.
He stands under a parachute
And a little worried.
And below the people are laughing:
The tower wants to jump from the tower!

Into the shooting gallery, under a low canopy,
Uncle Styopa barely climbed in.
– Allow me to ask,
I pay for the shots.
This ball and this bird
I want to aim!

Looking anxiously at the shooting gallery,
The cashier says in response:
– You will have to kneel,
Dear comrade, get up –
You can reach the targets
Without a gun with your hand!

Until the morning in the alleys of the park
It will be fun and bright,
The music will roar,
The audience will make noise.

Uncle Styopa asks the cashier:
– I came to the carnival.
Give me such a mask,
So that no one will recognize!

– It’s quite easy to recognize you, –
There is a friendly laugh, –
We recognize you by your height:
You, comrade, are above all!

What happened?
What is that scream?
– It’s a student drowning!
He fell off the cliff into the river –
Help the man!
Before the eyes of all the people
Uncle Styopa climbs into the water.

– This is extraordinary! –
Everyone shouts to him from the bridge. –
You, comrade, are knee-deep
All deep places!

Alive, healthy and unharmed
Boy Vasya Borodin.

Uncle Styopa this time
Saved a drowning man.

For a noble deed
Everyone thanks him.
– Ask for anything –
they say to Uncle Styopa.

– I don’t need anything –
I saved him for free!

The locomotive is flying, buzzing,
The driver is looking ahead.
Driver at halt
The stoker says:

– From the station to the station
I made a lot of flights,
But I’m ready to argue –
This is a new semaphore.

Drive up to the semaphore.
What is deception?
No semaphore –
Stepan is standing by the way.

He stands and says:
– Here the path is blurred by the rains.
I deliberately raised my hand –
Show that the path is closed.

What is that smoke above your head?
What’s with the thunder on the pavement?
The house is burning around the corner,
One hundred onlookers are standing around.
The team puts up ladders,
Saves the house from fire.
The whole attic is already on fire,
Pigeons are fighting in the window.

In the yard in a crowd of guys
They say to Uncle Styopa:
– Will our pigeons burn down together with the house
?

Uncle Styopa from the sidewalk
Gets to the attic.
Through the fire and smoke of the fire
His hand reaches out.

He opens the window.

Eighteen doves fly out of the window,
And behind them is a sparrow.

Everyone is grateful to Stepan:
He saved the birds, and therefore
Become a firefighter immediately
Everyone advises him.

But in response to the firemen
Stepanov says: — No!
I’ll go to serve in the Navy,
If I’m tall enough.

Laughter and whispering in the corridor,
Rumbling of speeches in the corridor.
In the office – Uncle Styopa
On examination by doctors.

He is standing. Bend over him
The sister asks politely.
– We can’t reach!
Doctors explain.—

Everything, from sight to hearing,
We examine you:
Does the ear hear well,
Does the eye see far.

They examined Uncle Styopa,
They took him to the scales
And they said: — In this body
the heart beats like a clock!
Growth is great, but nothing –
Let’s accept him into the army!

But you’re not fit to be a tanker:
You won’t fit in a tank!
And unfit for infantry:
You can be seen from the trench!

With your height in an airplane
It is inconvenient to be in flight:
Your legs will get tired –
You have nowhere to put them!

For people like you
There are no horses,
And the Navy needs you –
Serve the country!

– I am ready to serve the people, –
Stepin’s bass is heard, –
I will go into fire and water!
Send even now!

Winter and summer have passed.
And winter came again.
– Uncle Styopa, how are you? Where are you?
There is no answer from the sea,
No postcards, no letters…

And one day past the bridge
To the house eight fraction one
Uncle’s height
A citizen is moving.

Who, comrades, is familiar
With this prominent sailor?
He walks,
Snowflakes creak
Under his heel.

Pleated uniform trousers,
He is wearing an overcoat under the belt.
Hands in woolen gloves,
Anchors glitter on him.

Here is a sailor coming to the house,
Unfamiliar to all the guys.
And the guys here to him
They say: – And who are you to?

Uncle Styopa turned around,
Raised his hand to the visor
And answered: — I returned.
Gave a vacation to a sailor.

Didn’t sleep at night. Tired from the road.
Not used to dry feet.
I’ll have a rest. I’ll put on a jacket.
I’ll sit on the sofa,
Come in after tea –
I’ll tell you a hundred stories!

About the war and the bombing,
About the big battleship “Marat”,
How I was slightly wounded,
Defending Leningrad.

And now the guys are proud –
Pioneers, Octobrists –
That they are familiar with Uncle Styopa,
With a real sailor.

He goes home from the Arbat.
— How are you? the guys shout.
And now the guys call
Uncle Styopa Lighthouse.

——

Who doesn’t know Uncle Styopa?
Uncle Styopa is familiar to everyone!
Everyone knows that Uncle Styopa
Was once a sailor.

That he once lived a long time ago
At the outpost of Ilyich.
And that he bore a nickname:
Uncle Styopa – Kalancha.

And now among the giants,
Those that the whole country knows,
Stepan Stepanov is alive and well –
Former naval foreman.

He walks around the district
From yard to yard,
And again he has shoulder straps on,
With a pistol holster.

He is wearing a cockade on his cap,
He is wearing an overcoat under his belt,
The coat of arms of the country shines on the buckle –
The sun is reflected in it!

He comes from the department,
And some pioneer
The mouth opened in amazement:
“That’s how mi-li-chi-o-ner!”

Uncle Styopa is respected
Everyone, from adults to children,
They meet – they see off with a look
And they say with a smile:

– Yes, yes! People of this height
are not easy to meet!
Yes! Such a young man
new form to face!
If he stands at his post,
Everyone will see a mile away! —

Traffic jam near the square —
A traffic light broke down:
The yellow light came on,
Still no green light…

One hundred cars are standing, honking —
They want to start moving.
Three, four, five minutes
They are not given passage.

Here Uncle Styopa says to the employee of ORUD
:
– What, brother, is it bad?
The traffic light is not on!

From a glass round booth
A voice is heard in response:
— Stepanov, I’m not in the mood for a joke!
What should I do, give me some advice!

Stepan did not argue —
He took out a traffic light with his hand,
Looked into the middle,
Tucked something somewhere…

At the same moment
The right light came on.
Traffic restored,
No traffic jams!

The guys told us,
That Stepan has been since then
The kids in Moscow have nicknamed:
Uncle Styopa – Traffic light.

——

What happened? At station
, a boy of five is crying.
He lost his mother in the hall.
How can I find her now?

Everyone calls the police,
And she’s right there!

Uncle Styopa slowly
Raises the baby,
Raises him above himself,
Above himself and above the crowd
Under the high ceiling:
— Look around, son!

And the boy saw: right,
At the pharmacy stall,
Mother wipes her tears,
Lost son.

Mom hears Colin’s voice:
— Mom! Mother! That’s where I am! —
Uncle Styopa was pleased:
“The family didn’t break up!”

——

There was a student coming from school –
A well-known mischief-maker.
He wanted to quarrel,
But he didn’t know where to start.

Two girlfriends were walking from school –
Talkers in white aprons.
There are books and notebooks in the bags,
And everything is in order in the notebooks.

Suddenly a mischievous one meets,
In a knapsack – a diary with deuces,
No emblem on the cap,
And the belt is already without a buckle.

The students did not have time
to get away from him –
He pushed them straight into the dirt,
Laughing at the pigtails.

He offended them for no reason
In front of passers-by,
And then he saw the tram –
Hooked on the go.

He stood on the footboard,
Waving another in the air!

He did not know that Uncle Styopa
Sees everything from afar.
He did not know that Uncle Styopa
Will not forgive the mischievous one.

From the doors of the department store
Uncle Styopa — at the same moment
Took three huge steps
Straight across the square.

At the tram turn
I took a tomboy off the footboard:
– Answer: where do you live?
What is the father’s last name?

With a sentry of such height
Arguing is not easy.

——

On the river and crack and thunder –
Ice drift and icebreaker.

Rinsed the old fashioned way
Grandmother in the hole in the sheets.
The ice cracked – the river went,
And the grandmother swam.

Grandmother groans and groans:
— Oh, my underwear will sink!
Oh! I got into trouble!
Oh, save! I’m lost!

Uncle Styopa is on duty —
He is on duty at the bridge.

Uncle Styopa through the fog
Looks into the distance like a captain.
Sees – an ice floe. And on the ice floe
A grandmother is crying on a basket.

You can’t describe what happened here!
Uncle Styopa – hands down,
Leaning over the railing,
Hanging over an abyss.

He managed to grab
The frightened grandmother,
And the old woman – behind the basket:
– I won’t throw my underwear!

Uncle Styopa saved her,
Both the basket and the linen.

——

The guys were walking past the building,
What’s on Vosstaniya Square,
Suddenly they look – Stepan is standing,
Their favorite giant!

Everyone froze in surprise:
– Uncle Styopa! It is you?
This is not your branch
And not your district of Moscow!

Uncle Styopa saluted,
Smiled, winked:

– I received an honorary post! –
And now on the pavement,
Where there is a high-rise building,
There is a high-rise guard!

——

Like a stretched handkerchief,
Smoothly filled rink.
Everyone gets up in the stands:
The skaters are given a start.

And they run in a circle,
And the fans to each other
They say: – Look! Look!
The longest ahead!
Longest in front,
Number “eight” on the chest!

There is a strict dad here
He asked his son:
– Probably, these legs
belong to the Spartak team?

Mom intervened in the conversation:
– These legs are at Dynamo.
It’s a pity that our Spartak
won’t catch up with them!

At this time they announce:
The competition is over.
Congratulations to Uncle Styopa:
– Well, Stepanov! Well done!

——

Uncle Styopa is proud of
All policemen of the capital:
Styopa looks down,
Receives the first prize.

Uncle Styopa, as if on purpose,
We urgently need to be on duty.
Who would be able to give a lift to Guard on the way
?

One driver speaks,
Young motorist:

– Drop you off at the station
I would consider it an honor,
But, to my great regret,
You won’t get into my Moskvich!

— Hey, Stepanov! I’ll throw it in, –
Then another driver called. –
Get into my car –
Into a multi-ton dump truck!

——

In the “Children’s World” store,
Where the toys are in the window –
A hooligan has appeared.
He overturned the skid.
He took out a carnation from his pocket,
He made a hole in the drum.

Seller to him: — Pay! –
He answered: – I won’t cry!
– Do you want to go to the department? –
Answers: — Yes, I want to!

Only suddenly the bully
Heart skipped a beat in his chest:
In the bright mirror Stepan
He saw behind.

– Do you want to go to the department?
– What are you! What do you! Don’t want!
– Pay money to the cashier!
— How much do you need? I will pay!

Guard Stepan Stepanov
Was a thunderstorm for hooligans.

——

One Sunday morning,
Styopa came out of the yard.
Stop! Don `t move!
No escape:
She stuck around the children.

Vitya looks at the authorities,
Wrinkles his nose in embarrassment:
– Uncle Styopa! Sorry!
– What is it?
— There is a question!

Why, having come from the Baltic Fleet,
did you join the police?
Didn’t you find a better job
than this one?

Uncle Styopa frowns,
Left eye squints a little,
Says: — Well, friends!
I will answer the question!

I’ll tell you a secret,
That I serve in the police
Because I find this service
very important!

Who with a staff and a pistol
On duty in winter and summer?
Our Soviet sentry –
This is the same sentry!

It’s not for nothing that he avoids the police post

And he is afraid of the police
The one whose conscience is not clear.

Unfortunately, it happens
That the police frighten
Naughty kids.
How are parents not ashamed?
This is stupid and insulting!
And when I hear this,
I blush to the ears…

Second class children
More than an hour with Uncle Styopa
The conversation continued.
And the guys said goodbye
Shouted: – Goodbye!
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Uncle Styopa – Traffic light!

——

I, friends, will tell you right away:
This book is on order.

I came to the kindergarten,
I speak with the guys.
“Read ‘Uncle Styopa'” –
Chorus asks for the first row.

I read a book to the guys,
I didn’t have time to sit down,
The boy gets up:
“Does Styopa have children?”

What will I say to him in response?
Difficult to answer: no.
Poems about Uncle Styopa
Started many years ago.

And nowhere about Uncle Styopa
He didn’t say that he was married.

That he once fell in love,
Chose a girl alone,
And married Manechka,
And brought his wife home…

——

What happened in the maternity hospital
On this winter day in the morning!
This is who the guests are introduced to
Sisters, nannies, doctors?

In a bright, sunny ward,
Near mother, on the bed,
In the sight of other mothers,
An unprecedented child is sleeping,
Not a baby, but a whole little one –
Full eight kilograms!

A whisper is heard in the wards,
A loud conversation is heard:
– Born to Uncle Styopa
A son named Egor!

To the seventh department
To the father-foreman
Sends congratulations
All the police of the country.

Telegrams arrive:
“What is the new Hercules?”,
“Specify kilograms”,
“Confirm exact weight”.

Congratulates the city of Gorky
October kids:
“To Uncle Styopa and Yegorka
Our greetings from the bottom of my heart. ”

Uncle Styopa is congratulated
Both Tashkent and Sevastopol,
A gift is sent to the kid
The Battle Baltic Fleet.

Congratulations in the department
The postman is tired of wearing.
Uncle Styopa from excitement
He even began to stutter.

——

A hero, not a child!
How not to believe in miracles?
Grows out of diapers
Not by the day, but by the hour.

He is already eating jelly from a spoon,
Says: “Yeah, yeah…”
Now he got up on his feet,
He took the first two steps.

Egorka is already standing
At the blackboard with a chalk in his hand,
Here is the first five
Egorka is in his diary…

He goes to bed by the clock,
does not wait for instructions.
Even if you dream of something –
At seven in the morning Yegor gets up.

Whether it’s hot or cold, it doesn’t matter
He opens the window.
Exercises quickly,
Eats soft-boiled eggs for breakfast,
Five potato patties,
Two glasses of curdled milk
And a bowl of semolina –
Porridge is also good!

——

About Yegor Stepanov
The rumor spread very soon:
The boy is ten years old,
But a small child has
Strong beyond his age,
Not a child, but an athlete!

Among the thousands of babies
There are no such strong men.

A quarrel is brewing somewhere,
An argument turns into a fight –
There is no fight, no contention,
If Yegor is nearby.

Although not as tall as his father –
You won’t offend the young man:
He puts on two shoulder blades
The best wrestler in the school is
Wrestling champion
From the seventh grade “B”.

Uncle Styopa is glad and proud,
That my son loves sports.

——

Once the Volga got stuck in the snow,
It skidded for a very long time,
It skidded until now –
Do not notice her Egor.

The driver is behind the wheel askance
Looks sadly under the wheels,
Angrily mutters to himself:
“That’s the trouble, how skidded!”

Yegor came up from behind
And helped someone else’s uncle:
He rested his foot on the fence,
He pressed on once or twice …

The uncle was very surprised,
He gave a signal and rolled!

——

Shoes slide on the grass,
Eagles soar in the blue.
Stretched along the path
Tourist squad.

It’s hard for everyone on a hike –
Everyone doesn’t go light,
And there is not fluff and cotton wool
In a pioneer backpack.

A mountain is moving uphill
All kinds of goodness –
This is dragging our Egor
Two tents, two buckets
And firewood.

He loaded so much luggage,
What is neither in front nor behind
Do not recognize him.
What to do, since in the detachment
There is no one stronger than anyone!

——

Day after day, year after year
Uncle’s son is growing up.
Red-cheeked, broad-shouldered,
Walks in the first strong men.
Stocky and muscular
A well-known weightlifter.

First day of competition.
One hears in the hall: “Attention!
“Middleweight” performs!”
Yegor comes out onto the platform,
People keep their eyes on him,
Show interest.

Not for the first time in this hall
Breaking world records —
And gold medals
Issued to craftsmen.
This time European record
Uncle Styopa’s son beats:
Lifts,
Squeezes…
Three hundred and thirty kilograms!

From such great luck
Uncle Styopa almost cries,
Whispers in his wife’s ear:
– I, Marusya, as if in a dream …

The champion was immediately given
Two gold medals.
They called from the newspapers:
They urgently need a portrait.
Two overseas reporters
Politely ask Yegor
Answer questions.
— How old are you?
– Twenty years old.
– What is your main wish?
– Get an education.
– What do you want to become?
– Fly between the stars!

Reporters smiled:
– Can you dream?
– Yes! – Yegor said. – I can.
I dare not deny myself!
This is how the whole country dreams,
Our whole big family …
Meet my dad –
Police Chief!

The reporters bowed,
apologized in English
And after closing the tape recorder,
quickly ran out.

——

International port open —
Air port, not water.
New air terminal.
Passengers full hall.

Every minute
Ships fly off –
One to Havana, one to Calcutta,
To the other end of the earth.
Like heavenly princesses,
Stewardesses run through.

Border Guard
Stands at his posts:
Stamps foreign
AND Soviet passports.

People have tickets in their hands,
Both bouquets and packages.
Loud talking. Jokes. Laughter.
Only these are not tourists,
But gymnasts and weightlifters,
And, of course, football players –
We know everyone very well!

All of them by name
We have known each other since childhood…

Mothers and fathers are seeing them off,
Uncles Kolya, aunts Kapa, ​​
Grandchildren, daughters, sons —
Everyone has a family!
Goodbye to everything
They say interspersed:
– If you run – don’t stumble,
If you run – don’t catch a cold!

– Every business needs experience,
In order not to waste energy . ..

Uncle Styopa is joking with his son:
– Did you forget the barbell at home?

Three weeks have passed.
– Arrived?
– Arrived!
– How did you fly? Aren’t you tired?
– Everything is in order!
— Where are the medals? –
Voices from all sides …

– Hello, son!
– Hello, dad! –
Olympic champion shouted from the ladder to Uncle Styopa.

——

We have an inconspicuous
Semi-secret town,
Surrounded by a fence…

Among the military pilots –
Excellent testers –
Egor lives in the town,
He is a major.

Strong, brave and serious,
He achieved his dream
In the study gave the star,
In the conquest of heights.

To complete the task
On a rocket ship,
Unearthly tests
He passed on Earth.

And early one morning
We will hear in the silence:
“Cosmonaut Egor Stepanov
Sends greetings to the Moon from Mars!”

This will be the message:
“Sends greetings from Mars to the Moon!”
That will be admiration!
And to the seventh department
From the minister congratulations
to Uncle Styopa – foreman!

——

Lived in Moscow Stepan Stepanov
An eminent policeman.
And now Stepan Stepanov –
Ordinary pensioner.

A veteran in considerable years,
The man is already gray-haired.
Of all the experienced people
Still the youngest.

Stepanov does not sit at home,
He does not look out the window all day
And he does not look for acquaintances,
To play dominoes.

What is Uncle Styopa doing,
Hero of our childhood?
As before, Uncle Styopa
is close friends with the children.

Take, for example, the stadium –
Where the guys are, there he is!
Children are being led to the zoo –
Children are waiting for Uncle Styopa.

With his wide step
He is walking across the square.
And around the children the gang –
Curious people.

– Tell me, Uncle Styopa,
How does your son Yegor live?

— Show me, Uncle Styopa,
How to look over the fence? –
Uncle Styopa is happy to try:
– I’ll show you! Look, brothers!. .

— He does not know the sense of proportion, —
Pensioners say.
– Uncle Styopa and now
wants to be younger than us!

——

Is there anything in the world,
What can be hidden for a long time?
Fifth grader Petya Rybkin
Slowly began to smoke.

The boy’s hand reaches out for cigarettes
.
Falls behind in all subjects,
Do not recognize the student!

The fool started coughing.
That’s what it means – tobacco!

Uncle Styopa frowns:
— Which one of you guys smokes?
I can’t stand smokers!
I don’t ruin my health!
You are a conscious people!
Who smokes, step forward!

Answering for himself alone,
Blushing in front of everyone like cancer,
Fifth grader Rybkin Petya
Took the required step.

What is there to talk about?
– I promise not to smoke!

Stepanov winked at the children,
He shook the boy’s hand…
Everyone knows that Petya Rybkin
He kept his word.

——

Infantry takes the high ground –
On the offensive of the troops.
Like a frog, out of the swamp
Someone is pulling the tongue.

Even the girls can’t sleep,
They, the nurses, can’t sleep…
It’s the game “Zarnitsa” –
Not a military war.

Uncle Styopa on a hillock
Yes, even on a hillock
Watching with a keen eye
Watching the battle in the distance.

Mitya Vertushkin ran up,
The platoon commander asks:
– Uncle Styopa! At least get down!
You are such a landmark!

Uncle Styopa smiled,
But he obeyed and bent down.

The former foreman sees:
At least they are playing, but there is war!

——

They surrounded Uncle Styopa,
They are taking him straight to the headquarters:
– Admit it, Uncle Styopa,
Whom did you “root” for?

– I won’t answer,
I’m supposed to keep quiet.
I am detained. I am in captivity.
Not a word to say!

——

One morning Uncle Styopa
Met in the yard;
— Where are you going?
– I’m flying to Europe!
I will be at home in September.
I have a ticket and I have a ticket,
Airplane Moscow – Paris.

It’s embarrassing to refuse:
And if you don’t want to, you’ll fly!
Everyone gets on the plane:
– Well, take it, Aeroflot!

Uncle Styopa sat in the chair,
Buckled up. Ate breakfast.
Just picked up a newspaper –
What is it? Arrived!

landed on three points And ended up in Paris.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris
Uncle Styopa visited.
“You’re a little shorter, of course!” —
The translator was joking.

Tourists in the old town hall
Received by the venerable mayor,
A sparkling glass for Paris
Raised by our pensioner.

Sitting next to a partisan,
Talked about Moscow,
Two veteran workers
Presented a nesting doll.

Uncle Styopa was invited
Both to the museum and to the restaurant
And everywhere they represented:
“This is a Russian giant!”

And one day, with a suitcase
Passing through the X-ray first,
The tourist Stepan Stepanov got on
On the Paris-Moscow plane.

He sat down in an armchair by the window.
Buckled up. Ate breakfast.
Just picked up the newspaper –
What is it? Arrived!

— How did you fly, Uncle Styopa?
— How are you?
— How is Europe? –
And Stepanov answered everyone:
– It’s better at home – there is no place!

——

In the fifth grade, a detachment gathering.
Everyone must come to the gathering!
An emergency call is announced:
Uncle Styopa has fallen ill!

Uncle Styopa caught a cold
And ended up in bed.
And friends are right there:
Those came in, and these are waiting …

Who brings him jam,
Who is his poem,
Who makes tea:
– Uncle Styopa! Here is a raspberry,
Drink instead of aspirin!
– Uncle Styopa! Don’t be bored!. .

And, touched by the attention,
Full of thanks,
Aunt Manya greets everyone –
Uncle’s wife.

Not even a week has passed,
Uncle Styopa got out of bed,
Went out into the yard on Friday,
And son Yegor met me.

The son met his father,
Everyone looks great!

— Can you congratulate us on our daughter!
The astronaut told his father…
We must put an end to this.
Uncle Styopa became a grandfather!

Veteran Stepan Stepanov,
If you look sensibly,
Must die sooner or later,
Unfortunately, die.

Amazing thing:
Day after day, year after year,
So many springs have flown by,
And Stepanov is still alive!

He has a pension,
And advanced years,
But he will never grow old
Never and never!

Those who used to know him
And went to kindergarten with him,
Those bearded today
And introduce him to grandchildren.

Uncle Styopa is friends with them –
He faithfully serves the guys
And is always ready, everywhere
To help them in any trouble.
