   Proven! Years back when I had inflammation of the heart muscle, and after being a rag-doll in practitioners’ hands, I decided to cure myself: got Ephraim Kishon’s books and laugh my guts out! Oh, yes, Ogden Nesh helped a bunch, too (especially in Dragoslav Andric’s translation, e.g. “Smesna smesa Ogden-a Nesh-a”) 😀 What I love the best is a combination – the best sleep after good laughter! Thanks, Bora, for this one 🙂

   Dakle, carevi i Ogden i Dragoslav! When I got my first child, I was literally crying out of laughing reading Nesh. When I got second child, I even cried more laughing and wondering what a genius Nesh is! See through just like that!
   Prvo i drugo dete
   Prvo

   Dete zbog koga gubite dah
   I posrcete u isti mah,
   Blistavo kao zvezde, gipko kao perece,
   Jedino savrseno od sve dece!

   “Jeste, nocas u pola dva…
   Dobro su oboje… bio sam tu…
   Da li je decko il’ seka? Ko zna –
   Telefonirajte ujutru babici, pitajte nju.”
   I would never believe in transformation of the parents in such a short period of time, if it didn’t happened to me as well… shame on us!
