Edited on Sun Sep-03-06 08:32 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli
In prison cell I sadly sit, A dammed crestfallen chappie, And own to you I feel a bit-- A little bit -- unhappy.
It really ain't the place nor time To reel off rhyming diction ; But yet we'll write a final rhyme While waiting crucifixion.
No matter what end they decide Quick-lime? or boiling oil? sir We'll do our best when crucified To finish off in style, sir !
But we bequeath a parting tip For sound advice of such men Who come across in transport ship To polish off the Dutchmen.
If you encounter any Boers You really must not loot ‘em, And, if you wish to leave these shores, For pity's sake, don't shoot ‘em.
And if you'd earn a D.S.O., Why every British sinner Should know the proper way to go Is: Ask the Boer to dinner.
Let's toss a bumper down our throat Before we pass to heaven, And toast: "The trim-set petticoat We leave behind in Devon."

I'd heard of this film but never seen---not counting when I previously tuned into the final minutes, and tuned elsewhere so I wouldn't spoil the end. I checked the imdb link (good synopses and comments) and am very much looking fwd to catching this film tonight.
Thanks very much for the headsup. :toast:
