Not everyone knows, but the famous Russian poet Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin, in addition to being a poet, was a person with a non-standard, irritable and at the same time vulnerable psyche. He had problems with alcohol, which was the reason for the creation of a huge number of tales, jokes and anecdotes about him. And the central joke-jest, of course, is "There is a lifeless body on our life's path …".

Mayakovsky's personality

Since the topic of the anecdote about the "lifeless body" has come up, let's say a few words about Mayakovsky. He was also a poet, also of the Soviet era and also not without oddities and bad habits. There are also a lot of jokes about him, but since we are not talking about him, we will mention only one, in which both famous poets appear together.

Yesenin and Mayakovsky "in one bottle"

So, the joke itself"Lying a lifeless body…".

Mayakovsky somehow leaves a tavern with a couple of girlfriends, whom he found there. Girlfriends flatteringly say this:

- Vladimir! Is it true that you can give out poems impromptu, without even thinking and without straining, for any reason and for no reason?

- Well, of course it's true! Set a theme!

- Well, here's a drunk lying in the mud on the side of the road, can you give a couple of lines about him?

Mayakovsky pompously addictive:

- A lifeless body lies on our path of life…

And suddenly from the direction of the drunkard comes:

- Well, what do you care? Pick up your girlfriends and go!

Mayakovsky stretched out to his full height and says with displeasure:

- Come on, girls. It turns out that our Yesenin went overboard again…

More jokes about Yesenin

Since the fun has begun, let's recall a couple of interesting anecdotes about the famous poet.

- At your age, - the father says to his son, - Yesenin was already a famous poet!

To which the son replies:

- And this famous poet has already hanged himself in yours…

As it turned out later, the verse "You are still alive, my old woman" was written by Yesenin as an epigraph to Dostoevsky's remaining unfinished sequel, en titled "Crime and Punishment 2".

When I cite Yesenin as an example, for some reason everyone thinks only of lyrics, imagery, feelings for the motherland, although I mean drunkenness, debauchery and swear words…

From an early age, I set out to write poetry,like Yesenin… But so far he has only learned to drink vodka like him.

One day, the head of the Weasley family, Arthur, comes into the waiting room of the Minister of Magic, and Lucius Malfoy, reclining in an armchair, with a collection of Yesenin's poems, appears before his eyes. Seeing Weasley Sr., he joyfully exclaims:

- Arthur! Check it out! This interesting poet, oddly enough, I found a poem about your wife!

Arthur, suspicious:

- Come on… And what is this verse?

And Malfoy reads with taste and expression:

- Seven puppies of the dog, - laughs and continues, - seven red puppies …
