Poema de Sábado

The Floating Old Man

There was an Old Man in a boat,
Havia num barco um Velho Homem,

Who said, "I'm afloat! I'm afloat!"
A dizer, "Estou a deriva! Estou a deriva!"

When they said, "No! you ain't!" he was ready to faint,
Quando lhe responderam, "Não! Não estás!" quase pôs-se o velho a desmaiar,

That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
Aquele infeliz Velho Homem no barco. 

(Edward Lear, The best Poem

of the English Language, pag. 734)
