"The Ivory Graveyard"

Epic #7, September 1985 ($0.75)

Poem:
"If your taxes are outrageous,
Send for Groo.
If some plague is most contagious,
Send for Groo.
If a slow death is your worry,
And you'd like your end to hurry,
Then there's just one thing to do-
Send for Groo.
If an enemy's invading,
Send for Groo.
If your chance to live is fading,
Send for Groo.
If you're in a bad condition,
Have him join your opposition.
He will slay them all for you-
Send for Groo."

Moral:
"No one profits at the death of another
(except for the mortician.)"
