Herbert Nehrlich Poems

Silent Clyde
on his ride
through the wide
countryside
...

She stuck a Winston 'tween her lips
and flicked her nicotine stained fingers
amply endowed with giant hips
and wore perfume that somehow lingers
...

Von der alten Gaslaterne
draussen vor der Grosskaserne
hing, im Angesicht der Sterne
eine Nutte, doch nicht gerne.
...

And, in the end,
my dear Aunt Hulda
used to say,
'Distance Makes
...

A man who did retire early
each night, and was a rather burly
well-fed and stocky specimen,
would always have lights out at ten.
...

If your house has been built of good stone
as it should you'll be happy to own,
and to languish within
with your old mandolin
...

The sight of her was just enough
to make him blink, all traces of
the booze they'd served him
so incessantly, Jack on the rocks,
...

Each break including summer holidays
I'd slave for heavy industry to make some dough.
Fell into bed at eight and had no time
for R & R nor any other girl.
...

There is little of time we receive
and it never will grant a reprieve.
If you take some, as such
now and then (but not much) ,
...

She invited me, (all into bathing) ,
though my mother had words that were scathing,
when I cleaned her with care
both our bodies were bare
...
