Herbert Nehrlich Poems

I ask you ma'm
can you spare a dime?
And would you take in turn
a lovely rhyme?
...

Today the sun shines,
then some clouds,
...

A limerick dedicated to HRH Prince Leonard, * for his 79th Birthday.
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR PRINCE LEONARD! ! ! !

There once was a farmer named Leonard,
...

Over at the river's bank
stands my buddy, Mellow Frank,
thinking of the German Tank
that he observed right where it sank
...

I never told you this before,
but at the hospital they gave
a bit of sodium pentothal,
it was the Swiss one,
...

Ten years ago, in Tennessee
I grew myself a money tree.
The money came in all-green leaves
my shepherd kept away the thieves.
...

La Louve et L’Autour


‘Twas night in the forest, with hardly a sound,
...

I like the chemistry of you,
your physics and biology,
each molecule must be
what others only dream of.
...

The sign said 'Liege'.
A smelly town in proper Belgium.
The stop was short,
much distance lay ahead.
...

For those who jump
when friendship beckons
and seal their pact in miniseconds
go from a grump
...
