Haiku For Number 600 Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

The Moon Down Under
Looks at the world Up Over
But then it travels.

The senoritas
drink the tequila sunrise
at desert sunset.

The alligators
do not suspect that some day
they will be handbags.

The pilot fainted
the plane went into nosedive
on autopilot.

A ballerina
twisted her ankle badly
and then fell over.

The salesman highballs
potential auto-buyers
to get their money.

The bear absconded
his cage had been left open
he had smelled freedom.

And Al Capone
was nabbed for tax evasion
'twas his accountant.

And Grandpa Moses
whose rubber duck was yellow
enjoyed his bathtub.

One hundred roses
were handed to Aunt Hattie
she did not count them.

A guy named Tiny
who weighed two hundred kilos
wore big and tall size.

Nogales Tacos
are soaked with hot tabasco
it burns at both ends.

At the Dutch border
they stopped the stolen wagon
it then exploded.

I've got six hundred
a few are pretty lousy
the rest are better.

Thank you for reading
my stuff devoid of talent
we'll see you later.
