Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Groucho Turns 120

Asked about my name, Julius,
This the story I would tell.
An uncle who was an old cuss
Did live with us and made life hell.
But Mom and Pop thought he was rich.
To make Unc points, when I was born,
I got his name in hopes he'd pitch
His wealth to us when we did mourn
His passing. When it came - not good.
We got his used razor blade crop,
An 8 ball and a piece of wood.
He owed eighty five bucks to Pop.

Julius was just some cheap name.
Groucho brought me fortune and fame.
