CAN YOU SEE WHAT IT IS YET?


from the ABC set THE FAMOUS AND THE INFAMOUS

When young Rolf was taught to swim
It was his dad who chose to teach him
The method his dad chose to employ
When Rolf Harris was only just a boy
Was to throw young Rolf into a pond
A method of which his dad was fond
It's was a strange way to treat him
To allow your child to sink or swim
And to throw your child into a pond
Would truly test the parental bond
Not something to be done on a whim
To risk a young child's life and limb
Rolf clearly survived the big ordeal
So it can't have been such a big deal
I don't know if he's been very unhappy
Or if he has spent years in therapy
Was dad really teaching him to swim?
Or was it just that he didn't like him
