Harpo Marx
Most people did not know that Arthur was your real name.
However, with your brothers, you achieved great fame.
Even though you could talk, you never said a word in your flicks.
Your fans loved all of your comical antics.
Harpo, how many times did you reach into your bag of tricks?
Your brothers and your agent once played a card game.
That was where you and your brothers would earn a nickname.
Because you played the harp so well, they would call you “Harpo”
That was the professional name everybody got to know.
You have been gone from this world for half a century.
However, in your movies, you have achieved immortality.
