Herbert Nehrlich Poems

A tree dropped off a hazelnut
it fell and landed on its butt.
Felt queasy in his hazelgut
from the effects of one small cut.
...

There is a certain eerie charme
in darkness on my father's farm.
And I shall miss those countless hours,
the sunny days and sudden showers,
...

All skies are endless,
oceans deep
and we have promises to keep.
...

That damned tooth gave me truckloads of curry
and I had to reluctantly go
to the dentist, her name was Doc Murray
in the town of Antonio.
...

He itched incessantly down under
and let them rip, a bit of thunder.
The quack said 'eat more fibre man',
he answered 'I don't think I can.'
...

A ripe old age without infirmity
is just reward for those who would
trust in the innate wisdom of the age.
As islanders they happily subsist
...

The impotents and pitiful they walked in single file
and sucked the perspiration off the sly bibliophile.
Brown uniforms and swastikas now rowing 'cross the Nile
we simply must take charge of them and holler our Sieg Heil.
...

An educated man came by
and talked about humility.
And over tea and humblepie
I answered with hostility.
...

Too late they found it was a bungle,
the doctor had been drunk at work
he diagnosed the spot as fungal
but then the patient went berserk
...

Humpty Dumpty went to the Forum
singing the praise of his schola cantorum.
All the small poets talking away
throwing their undies into the fray.
...
