A roasting of T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land"
A zobo is a type of brass horn. They come in all kinds of sizes, from soprano to bass, and apparently use a kazoo-type mouthpiece? I'm not sure, I only just heard the word for the first time with this poem, and information from a quick search is a bit sketchy. They haven't been in common use for a century or so...
The picture used is of T. S. Eliot, photographed one Sunday afternoon in 1923 by Lady Ottoline Morrell
