Herbert Nehrlich Poems

Strawberry nose,
viral tears
Ascorbate dose
now in arrears.
...

She thought of a surprise
for him, and for herself.
The shop was advertising,
half price today, just for today,
...

I felt you there,
my sweet,
and listened to your heart.
A hurried beat
...

There once was a vermin named Herrmann,
his uncle was General Sherman.
Said the general 'well,
send these poets to hell
...

Tom's buddy ran a secret lab,
made funny little pills.
The gift he had was of the gab:
'My uppers cure all ills.'
...

She stretched her legs in the green grass
surrounded by fresh bovine gas
you know, they always chew their cud
and wander through the grass and mud.
...

He was long retired,
sick of groping and drilling
inside the mouths
of fellow citizens.
...

At the famous Cleveland Clinic
works a rather nasty cynic.
Name is Nissen, he is sure
that he's found the final cure
...

His name was Rolf,
Rolfie for all the kids
who teased him, daily
while waiting for the yellow bus.
...

A honeybee, (it was a she)
sat in the Frangipani tree.
She had been told to fly around
just seven metres off the ground
...
