Ernestine Poem by Herbert Nehrlich
Ernestine
Oh Ernestine, oh Ernestine
do take a whole vanilla bean
and grind it up into fine dust
add to it nutmeg if you must.
Some heavy cream and lots of honey
twelve beaten eggs (it won't be runny) ,
combine the lot and chill it well
then take it out, but do not sell.
And from the upper kitchen shelf
take down a glass, and toast yourself.
Your writing is a real pleasure
by any P/H critic's measure.
And when you've finished half the brew
your mind will tell you what to do,
the words will come as a surprise
you need to post it for us guys.
I've often wondered if through liquor
our poems could be hatched much quicker.
Wonderful Herbert, great pace, great use of rhyme and a warm sensitive and humourous feel throughout. The lady will be pleased.
Like riding a canoe down a stream and seeing where it will go. Delightful flow of words and ideas. Flying with the wind as it were. Illustrative of 'your mind will tell you what to do'. The introduction of 'liquor' adds to the swiftness of the flow.
