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
