Premium Member Puffing and Joking

'you will live to be...
one hundred years...and three months'...
said seer groucho marx...

(and why the three months...
your wide eyes ask so brightly...
so no sudden death...)

Missing You

my control word
is more
so the more
i say more
it gets ignored
and the more
my tortured soul
gets tortured
by a sadistic Groucho
Marx putting his
cigar back in
his mouth saying,
"Say the secret word."

Premium Member The Marx 'Brothers'

Karl Marx was a historian and scholar
  Groucho Marx whooped it up and hollered

    Both of them were starved for attention
    Neither of them honorable menschen *

  * 'Menschen' in Yiddish literally means 'men.'
  But it is used to describe honorable, decent
  human beings, kind and caring.

Premium Member Commies Never Agreed with Me

     Never a Marxist
       I didn’t like Groucho
     And though I read Spanish
       forget Sancho Panza

     I was a big Lenin fan
       John, not Vlady --
     who loved a hot-toddy
       when courting a ‘la-dy’ 

     Today my likes and dislikes
       blow hot and cold
     which is likely to happen
       when your blood runs old

Premium Member Portrait of My Grandfather

Written by Gail DeBole on January 26, 2013

Whiskers and wisdom all in one. 
Generously and gently protecting us.
Every grandchild thought they were your favorite.
You in your long johns at night.
Joking during the day like Groucho Marx.
Sleeping in your favorite chair.
Smoking smelly cigars that callously killed you.
And yet I treasure one of the boxes left from those smelly cigars.

The farm was not the same without you.
We were not the same without you.
I was too young to know.
