Episode: The Ballad of Boris The Kid
Description: An epic battle: Boris the Balagoola versus a strange, three-legged fowl! No one--not even the author--recalls what prompted the conversion of a regular story into this poem. But here it is. Some help, here: tsuris=trouble, halavai=hooray, mishuga=crazy, luchen kup=hole in the head (idiomatically); verklempt=discombulated, a mess!
