Herbert Nehrlich Poems

In the middle of the night
Robert woke due to a fright.
Something hairy had appeared
in his dream and Robert feared
...

There once was a lady named Kane
she lived in Northcumberland Lane
she was a bit fat
and regrettably flat
...

I love the early morning so,
a time when dawn arrives
on velvet feet,
when owls retire
...

I had, for reasons of expediency
done all my chores, took out the files
to weed old wisdom and the silverfish
out of my life, it had been overdue.
...

The dreadful scourge of leprosy
no introduction necessary,
blows clouds of poison gas
a warning to us all, do keep away.
...

A bumblebee had hitched a ride
by hanging on the starboard side
of Russia's pride, the Aeroflot
right near the engine where it's hot.
...

She played the leading role
in a soap opera called 'Days Of Love'.
It later turned, by popular demand
into a porno film and she decided
...

How wonderful to have,
in our new street,
kind neighbours, friends in spe,
some came and helped
...

Some day she says that she will find
a panty hose to fit her waist.
It's not so much that cute behind,
its contours having been erased
...

You came into our lives,
I can still heart the patter
of wrinkled feet, so soft.
You could not stay
...
