"Rufferto II"

Epic #30, August 1987 ($1.00)

Poem:
"In a fray or in a scrimmage,
Groo projects a stupid image.
People say he's in a cloud-
(But do not say it very loud.)
Groo, they know from here to Sheba,
Has the brains of an amoeba.
In this world, they say, you'll find-
No creature with a smaller mind.
Is there one? We had to know-
And so we studied high and low.
Searched the mountains and the plains-
For a soul devoid of brains-
Finally, we found last summer,
One, it might be said, was dumber...
It's a dog who courts disaster-
Choosing Groo to be his master."

Moral:
"Honesty is its own reward.
Dishonesty is its own punishment."
