This is a departure for me. And yes, it's a pantoum. Your reactions welcome.
FULL MARX
Their gags were all in black and white
burst full of love from the silver screen;
when motion pictures flickered fresh light
Harpo strummed out the pain in between.
Burst full of love from the silver screen
Chico, Harpo and Groucho's wild vaudville
smoothed out the pain in between
as their routines streamed out for the kill.
Chico, Harpo and Groucho's wild vaudville
with plots that made sane Kafkaesque madness.
As their routines went in for the kill
there in Lydia's tattoos dwelt no sadness.
With plots that made sane Kafkaesque madness
the ridiculous made more sense than sense,
for in Lydia's tattoos there dwelt no sadness
when Groucho wooed the fair Hortense.
The ridiculous made more sense than sense
when motion pictures flickered fresh light,
and when Groucho wooed the fair Hortense
their gags were all in black and white.
