Haikus - A Small Collection Part C Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Haikus - A Small Collection Part C



A sagging scrotum
may cause bowed legs in fellows,
it's for protection.

Why pick the future
the past is so much sweeter.
But not the present.

A little piggie
found pearls among his brothers.
They had been cast there.

She used her finger,
well, yes, it was much smaller,
but more perceptive.

A politician
will never use deception
if no one pays him.

A monastery:
a place where monks can gather
fruits of the season.

A water closet:
A place where little grannies
sit on their fannies.

Valpolicella,
the wine for better people,
not for the lawyers.

The Russian Mafia
are partial to Mercedes,
they pay in rubles.

Albino negroes
are known as oxymorons,
their colours vary.

Hillary Clinton
dishonest beast in waiting,
saved up six million.

A ballerina:
A body anorexic,
no proper footwear.

A chiropractor:
A crack manipulator
of bone and marrow.

A hypodermic:
A lengthy needleholder
with a big plunger.

Those who cannot stop
talking about death itself
will surely meet him.

The health of the heart
will not suffer unduly
through sheer ambition.

Mismatched lovers are
a slot machine which rarely
returns the effort.

Good thoughts and people
need special care and treatment.
They are related.

A horrible thought:
The dreamer of buds in May
wakes in November.

Love may require
timely reciprocity.
Gratitude does not.

Never abandon
a loyal, homely sparrow,
just for a peacock.

All two-faced people
could some day be receiving
a double slapping.

Talking behind backs
excuses very few from,
demanding justice.

All men are heroes
though much heroic action
will take place elsewhere.

A weak opponent
will profit from the weakness
of he who's stronger.
