Bi je pisnik

galeb najde svoju hrid
lazina je spokoj dala
a staduni vicni slid
Bi je pisnik, sad ga nima
dan je tezak, grub i siv
ma jos grmi bombardina
ka da je jos uvik ziv
Bi je pisnik, i te kaki
infisan u lipi stih
piva ga je covik svaki
uz flautu i uz mih
Bi je pisnik, bi je pravi
kusa je ca vridi svit
zivot je u pismu stavi
a u glavi bi mu Split
Bi je pisnik, dite grada
i bez njega, njegov dil
lira, cvit i balustrada
cileg je u verse zbil
Bi je pisnik
