Стихи о фигурном катании

Роберт Рождественский

Фигурное катание

                                                           Фигурное катание ! 

                                                          Цветная

                                                                        чехарда,

                                                          Зазывное,

                                                          фатальное

                                                          похрустыванье льда...

                                                          К премьере

                                                                  мир

                                готовится, -

                                                          билетов не проси...

                                                          И разговор о тодесе

                                                          ведёт шофёр такси.

                                                          Оценивает заново

                                                          пробежки

                        и витки...

                                                          Вновь

                                                          от тройного сальхова

                                                          бледнеют знатоки.

                                                          Преображаясь

                                                          в солнышко,

                                                          в метелицу,

                                                          в юлу, -

                                                          Опять танцует Золушка

                                                          на сказочном балу.

                                                          Вникая

      в действо оное

                                                          четвёртый час подряд,

                                                          сто миллионов -

                                охают!

                                                          (И только двое - спят)...

                                                          Фигурное катание!

                                                          Стихающий дворец.

                                                          Большое ожидание :

                                                          когда же,

                       наконец,

                                                          судейские горынычи

                                                          покажут в одночасье,

                                                          как попугаи рыночные, -

                                                          билетики

                                                          со счастьем.
