Groucho, by Default

"...he said that Karl was not a Marx brother..."

Groucho, by Default

Terry was this
old film buff
that worked
as a spot welder
out in the new
industrial park
and once
on lunch he asked me
which Marx
brother I liked best
and I said Karl
and he said that
Karl was not
a Marx brother
so I said Groucho
because it
was the only one
I knew having never
watched a single
Marx brothers
movie ever.
