What an enjoyable write. As a kid I watched these guys regularly. I must confess however I wasn't aware two of them played the piano. I always thought it was the silent one who provided the music. This is a delightful and an informative write. I loved their antics. They produced so many laughs.

I have enjoyed reading this poem very much. Although my husband loves the Marx Brothers, the truth is I don't know anything about them.
Thanks for sharing your talent and the information.

Thank you. I find The Marx Bros. aren't as popular with women.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
Ah, the Marx Brothers! They certainly were good entertainers. I love the video you chose to ACCOMPANY (like what I did there, Jim?...) your delightful poem.
I have to say - and this falls under the "has the potential to be worth exactly what you paid for it" - I am not a big fan of this font. It was intermittently tricky to read, so that broke up the flow of your rhyme and meter.
Still, a very nice tribute to these talented men! xoxo

Thank you for your very kind words.

You're welcome!

I will try to watch my font choice in the future.

I like to experiment with different fonts, too, Jim, so I understand your wanting to change up the look a bit. Sometimes that works, but not always. I hesitated to say anything, but then I thought, "Well, I'd want Jim to tell ME if the situation were reversed!" So that's why I spoke up. Thank you for accepting my words in the spirit in which they were intended. xoxox

I always accept and respect any of your comments or suggestions.

I'll be looking forward till your next writing.

I have a few new ones up right now, actually! xoxo

Great! Keep 'em coming!
Comment from estory
Ah the Marx Brothers, one of the great comedy teams of all time, and now almost forgotten. They were really one of the last of the great vaudeville variety acts, able to do comedy, adroit musical numbers, and even dance. Harpo and Chico were quite proficient in piano and harp. But the audiences of today have little patience for anything but flash boom glitter pop and mindless action. The great mirror trick, which Harpo and Groucho performed in Duck Soup, is a lost art. estory

Sometimes it seems watching early films like "The Coconuts" is like peering at a world of the past through a time machine.

The Coconuts was actually one of the pioneering talkie films; 1929. estory

Yes, and it shows its age, but still I can't get enough of it.

Cleverly put together and I learnt a lot about "Chicko" . I remember seeing him on TV many times. Quite a talent. Pity life was not always kind to him. Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a wonderful day.

It is awesome to gain fortune and fame, then turn around and lose it all because of a weakness that is so lame. Bad habits can rob you of all you have worked hard to amass. The inability to control your weaknesses can really kick your ass.

I guess some people, like me in college, can't handle too much freedom t once.

What a delightful tribute/ mini biography to Harpo and Chico, versed so sweetly in this well presented 'postcard' post, together with a video. Thanks for sharing, Jim. Take care Debbie

I like your biographical poem on Chico Marx. It is quite interesting, has a nice flow and rhyme. I like Marx brothers movies, fun to watch. It's presented very nicely. Great job!

They both were very talented and I enjoyed listening to the video that you puts up with this. It's been a long time since I thought of Harpo and Chico Marx, but you reminded me of that and I enjoyed it. Patricia.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Thanks for sharing the nice presentation, picture, and notes, Jim.
-You did a good job with the poem.
-Effective imagery and rhyme, as well as a good story.
-It flows well from verse to verse.
-A very good opening verse introducing Chico.
-A good contrast between the brothers in verse two.
-It is unfortunate when a celebrity lets all the
fame and fortune turn their life around in a negative way.
-Very well done; thanks for sharing it.
-He was lucky he had brothers to help, but it sounds
like it wasn't enough and the demons got the best of him.
