Becky Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Becky

Rating: 3.3


I grabbed her then,
in drunken state
amongst brave men,
the night was late.
One hand around
her gracious neck,
a well-formed mound,
a nametag 'BECK'.

I picked her up in rough incline
and slurped her sweetened sap.
She struggle not, her heart was mine,
come rest my dear, sit in my lap.

At last the deed was truly done
I'd emptied out her core,
as a tradition every Hun
perceives with each small pore
that life is beautiful if blond,
with just a touch of fizz,
no foreigner would dare abscond
with her who is not his.

And as I through the country roam
from hills to ocean piers,
my lips seek out that head of foam:
A stein of German beer.

This was a fun read Herbert......I swear I'm like one of Pavlov's dogs when it comes to beer. I NEVER drink but because I grew up from as young as I can remember drinking beer........my mouth still waters at the mention of the name. Weird isn't it? Sincerely, mary
