A Will? You Serious? Comments

You've got me giggling, Herbsy. You and your black humour! Love, G.

Although I do appreciate Your offer to officiate On the occasion of your passing on I must confess that I have sinned And therefore must renounce the right To ramble on when you are gone Or when the reaper grim decides Herbert Nehrlich must be binned It is my testimony true That I have loved your poems too But when you’ve skipped the roundabout -Three thousand poems lost in space! - How will you return my hits? Who will quell my writer’s doubt Say my rhymes are not the pits The thought has left me dazed for days So Herbert maybe you could try To circumvent the need to die I’ve heard it said, by eating less Our lives might stretch forever more That way you’d be with us still A little thinner I would guess Without the need to make a will In clothes that were too small before A fine rattling irreverent piece Herbert. Death is a serious business that should be taken lightly.. jim

I have nothing to declare but your brilliance. t xxxx

Herbert, this is superb. Witty and irreverent and rather bitter/sweet in an faintly mocking sort of way. I dips me lid. love, Allie xxxx
