set out to write my Russian novel  
Cathy and Peter think it's great  
in mine, the boyars wouldn't grovel  
which led to loss of much estate  
it's not that it's not good enough  
it had the Tzar and Godunov  
the themes I touched, oblige noblesse  
and seagulls, of course war and peace  
but in the end, though I was crushin'  
it's still in English, not in Russian
