Herbert Nehrlich Poems

The Easterbunny came and laid
a dozen eggs, there, in the shade.
As Angie's son rolled out of bed
and to the Bunny he then said:
...

Yes, my scrumptious one,
though I have never, yet
laid eyes or hands upon
your blushing cheeks,
...

How vivid her quick smile,
full years could not erase
the memory.
The smile she woke me with,
...

There were so many,
they hung their heads
as if in shame
and swayed, unnoticed
...

His letterhead showed five degrees
post nominals like swarming bees.
A summary of past achievement
this morning's subject was bereavement.
...

And once again, I linger.
Dark is the night
in Southern lands
but finding it, unerringly
...

Peasant walks in veggie scene, finds his feet are, later, green.
Peasant likes a dropp of ale, his complexion will be pale.
On the tractor falls asleep peasant ends up in a heap.
When the helper pisses down peasant needs to change his gown. Calls the peasant from the rafter it is not the chook he's after.
...

Last night I had a funny dream:
While flying over mountains,
saw scenery I'd never seen
and desert towns with fountains.
...

The devil wears a single sock
the other foot is nude
he lives beneath a mossy rock
and thinks he is a dude.
...

The day you're born the midwife says
Milestones.
Your father rests his head in hospital,
Milestones.
...
