Guest Guest Posted May 27, 2014 Two little boys had two little toys Each had a wooden horse Gaily they played each summers day Warriors both of cause One little chap then had a mishap Broke off his horses head Wept for his toy, then cried with joy As his young playmate said Did you think I would leave you crying? When there's room on my horse for two Climb up here, Jack and don't be crying I can go just as fast with two When we grow up we'll both be soldiers And our horses will not be toys And I wonder if we'll remember when we were Two little boys Long years past, war came so fast Bravely they marched away Cannon roared loud and in the mad crowd Wounded and dieing lie, up goes a shout A horse dashes out Out from the ranks so blue Gallops away to where Joe lay Then came a voice he know Did you think I would leave you dying? When there's room on my horse for two Climb up here, Joe we'll soon be flying I can go just as fast with two Did you say Joe, I'm all a tremble? Perhaps it's the battles noise But I thinks it's that I remember When we were two little boys Do you think I would leave you dying? There's room on my horse for two Climb up here, Joe we'll soon be flying Back to the ranks so blue Can you feel Joe, I'm all a tremble? Perhaps it's the battles noise But I think it's that I remember When we were two little boys what a genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted May 27, 2014 what a genius Yeah, real poet laureate material. According to the radio this morning, he was actually singing "I'm not Jake the Paed" in the witness stand. No joke. i wonder if that was some ill-conceived idea from his lawyer or if Rolf really thought that would work. Maybe he really is truly eccentric in real life and it isn't just all stage-persona we've been seeing all these years. He does keep wearing all of those inappropriately-flamboyant ties into the trial as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted May 28, 2014 No, it was written by Theodore Morse (1873-1923) and Edward Madden (1878-1952) about the U.S. Civil War. Doubtful......... What it was based on was the Peninsular War In Jackanapes, by Juliana Horatia Ewing, childhood chums Jackanapes and Tony play on hobby horses at a fair. Later, on a Napoleonic battlefield, Tony loses control of his horse ("Tony Johnson was always unlucky with horses, from the days of the giddy-go-round onwards"), but is saved by Jack ("Leave you? To save my skin? No, Tony, not to save my soul!") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, he is fruity in real life, according to a defence witness: "She described Harris as eccentric and spontaneous, saying he would make funny noises at dinner or burst into song.

Bibliogryphon 9,567 Posted June 4, 2014 Apparently whilst giving her evidence his daughter said she feared both her parents would die during the trial. I don't think Rolf looks particularly ill but he has suffered with depression in the past. I am inclined to think she is exagerating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted June 11, 2014 Really don't know what to say... The comments are funnier than the video: "Na.............. Funny as fuck........ Takes me back to Jim'll Fix It when I milked that cow.. Blindfolded.. Took ages.." "Takes me back to the afternoon my class were in the audience of his show. We all had to close our eyes while Rolf painted a picture. The painting was brilliant even if we got splashed with paint while our eyes were shut. And all of it was white."
