Herbert Nehrlich Poems

From a cold and exhausting long trip
on Her Majesty's Post Office ship
after Customs they cleared
hand in hand they appeared.
...

And soon
we'll meet again,
old man.
Me, bearing flowers,
...

He calls it tea, hopflower tea to be exact.
He's neither British nor acqainted with Earl Grey.
He drinks so many gallons, could it be a fact
that a medicinal effect is, if I may
...

Once upon a time a cow
who had a flaxen-coloured brow
sat in the barn when time had come
to milk all cows, she felt so numb
...

To those who give us stress, God bless!
It took me decades, I confess
to see a reason in each mess
which is, I venture a small guess,
...

A most exquisite purple flower
was waiting for a summer shower.
It had not rained in many days
and only hot and burning rays
...

A thoughtful message sent in time
is more effective as a rhyme.
You see, inside each cluttered mind
there is temptation to be kind.
...

Has poetryhound
on the Kahoona Playground
been finally found?
...

While sitting on a hollow log
I noticed a small, handsome frog,
he came to me, quite unafraid
and said 'we need to find some shade.'
...

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods or steepy mountain yields.
...
