Herbert Nehrlich Poems

One foot immersed
the plan rehearsed,
then off at speed
to do the deed.
...

Yes, He gave the nod,
to the two of you then
and he found it not odd
he'd created these men
...

Though the timing is rather uncanny,
Happy Birthday, I say, poet Danny.
On another year's crest
it may BE for the best
...

There once was a poet named Turner.
He was kind and a rather quick learner.
Then he tempted his fate
when he stayed for debate
...

We'd been inside that place,
La Louvre, wow we said,
again and yet again, and there
she was, like in the story book,
...

A cockatoo named Elsevier
had sipped some of his master's beer.
The alcohol had warmed his heart,
he thought it would be very smart
...

They say that in Seattle snot
runs out of noses quite a lot.
The weather is, well rather shitty
which, in a way, may be a pity.
...

I shall drink your wine
take away your food,
deprive you of shelter
and dry up your well.
...

I think it may be rather odd
that no one knows the real God.
Elusive, yes, for centuries
and overseeing miseries,
...

I had to take my eyes off all the money,
inside the vault of New York City Bank.
I'd glimpsed the image of a real honey,
we had just driven through the wall in our tank.
...
