Cecilia and Kostya
Went up the coulee
To see the autumn leaves
Kostya saw Rudy's and wanted a root beer float
But Cecilia wanted to go on a riverboat
Translator's Note: Dima did not write this poem. It was actually written by Autumn Slagoski and her father just a day after she was born. Dima wanted to feature this poem to celebrate her birth. The inspiration is obviously "Jack and Jill," and it uses the first three names of the newborn--Autumn Cecilia Coulee. Rudy's is a drive-in restaurant in La Crosse. It is famous for its root beer floats.
