Herbert Nehrlich Poems

It was near Cairns, out on the road.
A rather homely looking toad
was of a mind to find his mate.
'Twas raining heavily, and late.
...

And top of the morning to you, Sir!
How this turd, wearing the Queen's rags
could justify the audacity.The nerve.
After the Royal horse farted (it was her) ,
...

Just got finished (some help from a tutor)
hooking up to the net the computer,
somewhat clumsy of hand
though I did understand
...

Nur noch drei Stunden bis der Richter spricht,
der Mann dem Wahrheit doch das Leben praegt,
ein faires Urteil muss es geben aber nicht
in Wochen denn wir warten schon so lang
...

I actually did brush my teeth,
only to return to a still warm bed,
she's attending that wedding,
so far away I could have,
...

If you're nearing the big Nine-Oh
and you've got nothing major to show,
but the dentures of old
and two fillings of gold
...

There was a letter in my Tuesday mail last week,
airmail and light, the stamp gave it away,
Herr Pastor wrote to say HELLO to all the meak,
and wish our special group a Happy Holy Day.
...

Der Vater der hatte oft Zorn,
und trug seine Nase stets vorn.
Doch den Blick in die Welt
tat in Beuernfeld
...

She was still under age,
though what a precious find,
inside a bamboo cage
she looked refined
...

A preacher named Adrian Finn
had considered that living in sin
with a nubile young maid
who'd ensure he'd get laid
...
