Чуть-Чуть


from the ABC set

Almost famous,
not quite brilliant,
nearly published -
scarcely coherent
barely understood
no more than enough.

Чуть-Чуть is a hair's breadth
from something, a sliver
more or a smidgeon less
or only just sufficient.

Almost verses
not quite poetry
nearly beautiful
scarcely meaningful
barely interesting
no more than ever.

Чуть-Чуть: is it enough?

Is this a reference to an obscure 80s pop song by some big fat black woman whose name I can't remember, called "Don't mess with my choot-choot"?

It may have been "toot-toot" that I'm thinking of. Either way, I believe she was talking about her fanny.

I hope this helps.

No.

'I hope this helps.'

You, perhaps.
