Drought In Australia
A cloud which was designed for rain
was home to drops (that should be plain) .
The forecast had announced some showers
thus, in the early morning hours
the signal came from higher up
that all the drops jump off the top.
Two oval shaped good looking drops
took off their speedos and their tops
and slowly went up to the edge
when one of them said 'I do pledge
to never misbehave again',
the other answered 'count to ten.'
They were afraid, that much is clear
and looking down increased their fear.
God long ago had stipulated
that drops had to be marked and dated
so that the world would get its rain
because a drought is such a pain.
Well you can guess what happened then
they jumped right at the count of ten.
So many others chicken out
that's why Australia has a drought.

Drugs Or Hugs
A rather handsome looking stork
whose home Down Under was Cape York
was on his way to a lone cottage
wherein the lights were of low wattage.
This is the reason he was fooled,
(just when he had his long legs cooled) .
He dropped a baby at the house
which pleased immensely just one spouse.
The other was not into hugs
but rather liked a life of drugs.
Mistakes like this have consequences
as drugs affect a human's senses.
What happened there, it was not right,
the stork just needed some more light.

Drum Beats
My sweetest pie of berries,
If you, on this occasion,
take out my heart
(just help yourself) by
reaching with great care
into my ribcage, only then
can you proceed to hold it
lovingly in your warm and
tender hands and then drum
onto its walls like in the tale of
Skeleton Woman, does this
then mean that one of us,
or both are listening
to a different drummer?

DU - English Version
YOU are my flower.
The loveliest flower
that exists
in this world.
And, oh how I would
have YOU
all to myself.
And keep YOU.
I would caress YOU with
my love
and breathe in
YOUR fragrance.
I would kiss
YOUR petals
and, gently,
lick YOUR nectar.
YOU are my
sole conjunction.
And YOUR tears are
my rain.
I want to drink every drop.
I need YOUR hands
to never release them,
YOUR breath
that warms me and
loves my skin.
YOUR heartbeat
which keeps me alive and
your breasts
that make me
immune to insanity.
I need YOUR closeness
to be awake
and to perceive
the world,
YOUR eyes to find
my soul
and to melt
into YOURS.
I need YOU!
Without YOU the world is not.
Without YOU there is no life.
Every cell of my being
longs for YOU,
for YOUR touch
and for
the warmth of YOUR blood.
And, when my end is near
I want to die
with YOUR hands
holding mine.
And so it shall be.
And that is good.
For YOU - Love of My Life
Herbert Nehrlich
