What A Pain - Still Here
 
  What if I change my name?
The list of poets then
would not be such a shame
to those few clever men.

They could just go pretending
that I am so pathetic
and would need no amending
get rid of this emetic.

I wonder if Old Bill
from superpower Britain
have public standing still
the masses would be smitten

Or what of Friedrich Schiller
a cousin to the Nietzsches
that would be such a killer
for all the living leeches.

I think I will decline
they'll find their own new tricks
I drink blueberry wine
I do not have to mix.

A man who gives his word
is worth no more than what
it stands for, have you heard
a word from me that's not?

The world is one big lake
and people are the ducks
they like to eat the cake
their soul, however sucks.

Herbert Nehrlich

With all due respect (none intended) , I would never take advice from exhaust fumes either.I wonder why you keep pestering me. You are most certainly not welcome.

keep your name. write work that you are capable of, instead of adolescent dirge. give up the blueberry wine. some advice. take heed.
