The Marx Cousins (A Nonsense ABC)

  
AARPo,

Biko,

Croucho,

Drummo,

E-e-e-eek!o (christened Echo),

Freako…



Geeko,

Hyde-‘N’-Sikho,

I'mUniqu'o,

J'maicanRummo,

Keeko…



Leeko,

Mozambiq'o,

Numbo,

Ouch!o,

Poucho,

Quixotico…



Reeko,

Sharpo,

TwylaTharpo,

Uomo, Jr.,

V.I.P-po...



(Wait!

Where's Whippo?

Where's

Xanthippo? Here! So's

Yummo -- yes! -- and

Zeeko!*



(Not to mention

siblings Groucho,

Harpo, Gummo,

Zeppo, Chico.)



     * 'Zicko' is routinely substituted
for 'Zeeko' here, anticipating a matching
"short-i" pronunciation of the final 'Chico' --
one heard, and apparently preferred, 
in many quarters.
