Bermuda triangle, or "The letter from an insane asylum"

med_cat: (cat in dress)
...it's been in the news lately, with the discovery of "air bombs", which probably explains all the mysterious disappearances...

Here's an interesting article on the topic:

And here's a song from the late 1970s (here, [livejournal.com profile] duathir, another one for you ;))
~~





Дорогая передача! Во субботу чуть не плача,
Вся Канатчикова Дача к телевизору рвалась.
Вместо, чтоб поесть, помыться, уколоться и забыться,
Вся безумная больница у экрана собралась.

Говорил, ломая руки, краснобай и баламут
Про бессилие науки перед тайною Бермуд.
Все мозги разбил на части, все извилины заплел,
И канатчиковы власти колят нам второй укол.

Уважаемый редактор! Может лучше про реактор,
Про любимый лунный трактор? Ведь нельзя же, год подряд
То тарелками пугают, дескать, подлые, летают,
То у вас собаки лают, то руины говорят.

Мы кое в чем поднаторели - мы тарелки бьем весь год,
Мы на них уже собаку съели, если повар нам не врет.
А медикаментов груды - мы в унитаз, кто не дурак,
Вот это жизнь! И вдруг Бермуды. Вот те раз, нельзя же так!

Мы не сделали скандала - нам вождя недоставало.
Настоящих буйных мало - вот и нету вожаков.
Но на происки и бредни сети есть у нас и бредни,
И не испортят нам обедни злые происки врагов!

Это их худые черти бермутят воду во пруду,
Это все придумал Черчилль в восемнадцатом году.
Мы про взрывы, про пожары сочиняли ноту ТАСС,
Тут примчались санитары и зафиксировали нас.

Тех, кто был особо боек, прикрутили к спинкам коек,
Бился в пене параноик, как ведьмак на шабаше:
"Развяжите полотенцы, иноверы, изуверцы,
Нам бермуторно на сердце и бермутно на душе!"

Сорок душ посменно воют, раскалились добела.
Вот как сильно беспокоят треугольные дела!
Все почти с ума свихнулись, даже кто безумен был,
И тогда главврач Маргулис телевизор запретил.

Вон он, змей, в окне маячит, за спиною штепсель прячет.
Подал знак кому-то, значит, фельдшер, вырви провода.
И нам осталось уколоться и упасть на дно колодца,
И там пропасть на дне колодца, как в Бермудах, навсегда.

 Ну а завтра спросят дети, навещая нас с утра:
"Папы, что сказали эти кандидаты в доктора?"
Мы ответим нашим чадам правду, им не все равно:
Удивительное рядом, но оно запрещено!

А вон дантист-надомник Рудик,у него приемник "Грюндиг",
Он его ночами крутит, ловит, контра, ФРГ.
Он там был купцом по шмуткам и подвинулся рассудком,
А к нам попал в волненьи жутком,
С растревоженным желудком и с номерочком на ноге.

Он прибежал, взволнован крайне, и сообщеньем нас потряс,
Будто наш научный лайнер в треугольнике погряз.
Сгинул, топливо истратив, весь распался на куски,
Но двух безумных наших братьев подобрали рыбаки.

Те, кто выжил в катаклизме, пребывают в пессимизме.
Их вчера в стеклянной призме к нам в больницу привезли.
И один из них, механик, рассказал, сбежав от нянек,
Что Бермудский многогранник - незакрытый пуп Земли.

От наук уставший школьник
Нёс совсем уж ерунду:
Говорил, что треугольник -
Их учитель по труду.

Dear TV show hosts! On Saturday, nearly crying,
All of Kanatchikova Dacha tried to get closer to the TV set.
Instead of eating, having a wash, getting injected with the meds and falling into oblivion,
The entire mad hospital gathered in front of the TV screen.

A demagogue glibly talked on, while wringing his hands,
About how science is powerless to discover the mystery of the Bermudas.
He broke our brains all to pieces, tangled up all our sulci and gyri,
And the people in charge at Kanatchikova are already giving us a second injection.

Dear editor! Maybe it would be better to have a show about a reactor,
About our favorite moon tractor? 'Cause it isn't the done thing, really--for an entire twelve months now
Either they frighten us about the saucers, y'know, the blasted things fly about, they do,
Or you talk about dogs barking, or about the ruins speaking in a human voice.

We've practiced a few things, we have--as to the saucers, we've been smashing them up all year,
We've gotten real good at it, if the chef isn't lying to us.
And the piles of medications--all of us who've any sense just dump 'em down the drain--
Now that's life all right! And suddenly, here's Bermudas. Really, not a nice thing to do to your listeners!

We did not start a fight--'cause we didn't have a chief.
There are few really violent patients here--and so we haven't got leaders.
But we have nets and ways to catch plots and conspiracies,
And our work won't be ruined by evil moves of our enemies!

That's all their skinny devils who bermuddy the waters in the pond,
It was all thought up by Churchill in the year 1918,
We were composing an official memorandum to TASS about the explosions and the fires,
And that's when the orderlies rushed in and put us all in straightjackets.

Those who were too spry, also got tied to their beds,
A paranoid patient was tossing about and foaming at the mouth, like a witch at a witches' Sabbath:
"Untie the towels, you infidels, you torturers,
Our hearts feel bermudded and our souls too!"

Forty of us are howling in shifts, we are white-hot.
That's how severely the triangular affairs trouble us!
Almost all of us lost our minds, even those who were insane to begin with,
And that's when the chief of medicine, Dr. Margoulis, forbade us to watch any more TV.

There he is, the serpent, hovering at the window, hiding the plug behind his back.
He gave a sign to someone, that means his assistant is going to rip out the electrical wiring.
And all that's left to us now is to take the shot and to fall to the bottom of the well,
And vanish at the bottom of the well, just like inside the Bermuda triangle, forever.

And tomorrow, our children will ask them when they come to visit us in the morning,
"Well, dads, what did those candidates for becoming physicians tell you?"
We will tell our dear children the truth, because they do care:
The amazing is very near us, but it is prohibited!

And there's the dentist who makes house calls, by the name of Rudik,
He has a radio set "Grundig", and twirls the knobs during the night time,
Trying to catch the FRG radio stations.
He used to speculate on clothes there and became unsettled in his mind,
Arriving to join us very agitated, with an upset stomach and a number tag on his toe.

He ran to us, extremely excited, and astonished us with the message
That supposedly one of our Soviet large science ships got stuck in the triangle.
The ship perished, having run out of fuel, and fell all to pieces,
But two of our mad brothers were picked up by the fishing boats.

Those who survived the cataclysm are in a state pf pessimism.
Yesterday they were brought to our hospital, inside a glass prism.
And one of them, a mechanic, told us, when he ran away from his watchers,
That the Bermuda triangle is really the open belly button of the Earth.

And a schoolboy who got tired of all that studying
Was talking complete nonsense--
He said that the triangle
Is their Home Ec teacher.

Thank you; Vysotsky is always good. I will pass this song on to [livejournal.com profile] pigshitpoet, though he may be disappointed to learn that the Bermuda Triangle does not exist.

Air-birst

I saw something about the bermuda Triangle (and strange clouds) on a "What On Earth" episode.
Thank you for the link!
