Thank you so much. This is from a book I'm reading about St. Petersburg. I spent a couple weeks there this summer and in order to make the experience last I found several in-depth books about theplace. I believe I am seeing a plethora of short ditties like this, so I'm starting to conclude they are like our "There once was a girl from Nantucket...." rhymes which get recycled and reformulated.
You have a poetic talent I see,
thanks again
