Herbert Nehrlich Poems

I loved the touch of you,
cool in the summer and so...
..shall we say, of warmth
in Continental winterstorms.
...

Madonna who was short and fat
lived in a unit with her cat.
They did enjoy the fifteenth floor,
could see La Jolla's ocean shore.
...

I did, mein Herr,
stick up two fingers,
they had been treated
as you had asked
...

Out of a cloud appeared a hand
it showed the middlefinger raised
below, the people on the land
were simply stunned and quite amazed.
...

A lanky humanoid named Gus
was driving a big yellow bus.
The bus was crammed with noisy pupils
of which a handful had no scruples.
...

That damned depression
caused by confession
in lengthy session.
The priest's obsession
...

Under rotten vegetation
beetles practice fornication.
Daylight bothers beetles' eyes
that's why God made bovine pies.
...

Some Yankee supermarket malls
may be surrounded by stone walls.
And in between the Malls and walls
you'll find the male and female stalls.
...

Wer reitet so spaet duch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Pfarrer und der Pfarrer ist blind.
Er traut seinem Pferd das nach Hause ihn bringt
und der Klang von vier Hufen ins Ohre ihm dringt.
...

A Northern Minnesota Hippy
went on a trip to Mississippi.
He didn't like the heat and flies
but fell in love with Southern pies.
...
