  • That and the fact that the Romans got beyond a certain point in Britain and thought "Really? What's the point? Sling up another wall and call it even..."

      Thank you.

      It was Kafoozalum (Kipling?) I was referring to yes.

      In days of old there lived a jade
      Of low repute -
      A prostitute -
      Who carried on a roaring trade
      All around Jerusalem.

      Hi-Si Kafoozelum,
      Kafoozelum. Kafoozelum!
      Hi-Si Kafoozelum
      The harlot of Jerusalem


      From Jericho there came by night
      A crafty shite,
      An Israelite,
      Who was resolved with all his might
      To shag the fair Kafoozelum.

      Hi-Si, Kafoozelum (etc)

      Kafoozelum, the crafty tart,
      She crossed her legs and blew a far4,
      And off he floated, like a dart
      High above Jerusalem.

      Hi-Si (etc)


      Cited by Rudyard Kipling in two short stories, so over 100 years old. Could even have been whistled by JtR himself as he meditated on ladies of the profession.

        Hi Martin,

        Many thanks for that. Didnt realise it was that old.

        By the way, enjoyed your contribution to The Dark side of the Jack CD, especially on Andrew Firths Labyrinth.
