Description
"Poet: Tumarinson, G. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1968
“Accurate and impartial consideration of complaints from the working popula6on should be an adamant rule. Meanwhile, there are cases of soulless rebuffs and inexorable delay of responses. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that these letters are sent for consideration to those officials whose actions were protested by the petitioners” (From the newspaper Pravda).
The Wolf has an office and mouth very loud,
He scolded the Hare and started to shout.
Offended, the weeping Hare
Brought his petition to the Bear.
The Bear didn’t probe too deeply into the act,
He resolved the problem as a matter of fact.
The end is obvious for the Hare:
He needed intensive health care.
PEOPLE WHO EXAMINE GRIEVANCES
SHOULDN'T FORGET INCIDENTS LIKE THIS. "
