Herbert Nehrlich Poems

A racist who was loud and mean
arrived with buddies on the scene.
They pointed fingers at the Black
and then prepared for an attack.
...

They'd badgered him, the family,
to go and have the tests, since, after all,
one needed to take all that modern medicine
and science had to offer to prevent,
...

A donkey who was old and daft
fell into a deep mining shaft.
The farmer heard the donkey's cries
and when the sun rose in the skies
...

God blinked that day
not once, but twice.
He tires easily these days
of watching all his sheep
...

The German chemist, name was Runge, did discover
what is today the recreation drug of note.
He had been burdened by a rather frigid lover
and any chances of pizzazz were quite remote.
...

Did you hear of the dummy who cried
when the others went on their joy ride
they had counted to ten
and to do it again
...

A bachelor, without a mate
had tried to find himself a date.
At last, when nothing went his way
he closed his eyes, began to pray.
...

The bitch was overdue.
No vet could be afforded
and the cries were growing,
ever louder, it was high time.
...

It was the same each time,
a ghost must live beneath,
that bridge of stone, stained
by a ton of droppings,
...

It was an early bird,
this straggler of the sun,
a ray of gold with millions
of teensie diamonds,
...
