Two little boys


A lazy post because I can say nothing at all about this card.  I have no idea what it says.  Any out there who can read Chinese?

It does remind me of the song made popular by Rolf Harris:
Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course
I hadn't realised that the song dates right back to 1902, written by Americans Theodore Morse and Edward Madden.  It was revived by Rolf Harris, became a huge hit for him and later Margaret Thatcher named it as a favourite song.

  1. What great artwork! It would make a great t-shirt design, no doubt and cause many double takes from others. Sometimes the simplest postcards are the most amusing.

  4. They look like two little warriors at play. Wonderful card even though we have no idea what it actually says.

  5. Though I certainly live in an area with many Chinese and other Asian ethnicities, the languages are nothing I recognize!!! I love the art, though.

  6. @Brian, an example of less is more, no doubt. :)
    @Christine, I love it too.
    @Re, hi!
    @jabblog, that seems to be the way it's going. :)
    @Lauren, I don't suppose it does matter really that we don't know.
    @Carmen, I think I've run out of options now. :)

    I thought someone, somewhere, would be able to read it. Where are the spammers when you need them? :)
