For Allan Whose Poems Would Buy............. Poem by Herbert Nehrlich
For Allan Whose Poems Would Buy.............
Some little poems do have legs
just long enough to buy some eggs.
Though for a dozen not enough
So, Allan, do you give a stuff?
You know you'd shrivel like a flower
and sting like a box jellyfish
if God would suddenly turn sour
and took away your favourite dish.
I saw your finger's long extension
which I will, quite regardless, mention
you wear on each of your ten digits
small pencils shaped like happy midgets.
So, bleat no more about your hobby
I mean to meet you in the lobby
right after they bestow the prize
I'll say some words, both cool and wise.
Your life is poetry, not eggs
you must be there each time one begs
to be let out of your big head.
Without your poems you'd be dead.
Very nice! I think many poets would surely be lost without being able to write. I may not go crazy but my family surely would! Very cute one. Sincerely, Mary

i dont eat a lot of eggs herbert and i seem to be cured of all that madness that seemed to be running through my head, perhaps i could flog a few politicians or give the religeous fanatics a bit of what for but they seem to have a senser on site i have never been a good sheep i have always wanted to run on my own your medical stuff do they give you free medicine for your poems on ailments or do you like eggs and coke willie nelson in his early days as a song writer used to get a bottle of whisky for a song before he made it what i would like to know who is getting a dozen eggs for our poems they dont run adds for nothing Warm regards AJS
