Occasional verse and dedications
Igor Ivanković
Dobro piće, a dobra i hrana,vrlina je "FENIKS" restorana.U Belišću na stanici radi,vlasnik Igor Ivanković mladi.Što bi moja duša sada znala,već, Igore, od srca Ti hvala.U vlasništvo knjigu sam mu dao,za dobrotu njegovu saznao.
Good drink and good food too: in these, you'll find,the FENIKS restaurant's virtues are combined.It's in Belišće, by the station: thereyoung Igor Ivanković runs it with care.What could my soul now know, what could it do,but say: Igor, my heartfelt thanks to you!I gave my book to him to keep, his own,once I had learned the kindness he had shown.
