Herbert Nehrlich Poems

A worm who lived inside a leaf
was stolen by a hungry thief.
Inside a lettuce he'd resided
just when the Lord himself decided
...

I understand now.
I am an inconvenience.
Beneath the carpet.
...

If you get old in Germany,
and in the night you have to pee,
remember, they have a tradition
to master this nocturnal mission,
...

Don't like the food much?
Find yourself another cook
another kitchen.
...

There are those I suppose
who do carry their nose
rather high in the air,
pretending to care
...

Jerry Hughes is making merry,
folks as far as Londonderry
send him wishes, sometimes darts,
he may upset applecarts
...

I sleep behind you,
resting my head
and being silent
your entire night.
...

I remember a pair of fine breasts
she was one of my Groundhog Day guests.
Oh to tear it asunder
just to see what was under
...

I once dated an overweight girl.
She was cute and her first name was Shirl.
When we tried to make love
after push and much shove
...

A little ray of sunshine
is what we all need.
For some this means fun time,
for others a feed.
...
