notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: The puppet known as the Knight Sir Rhyme A Lot was a regular on the NBC television show <i>Jump Jump of Holiday House</i> and one of four characters that appeared along with Jump Jump, Achi Paggli, and Sleepy Slim. Known as a moody poet that speaks only in rhyme, his head is carved from wood with moveable eyes and mouth. He wears a silver helmet decorated with a large blue and gray ostrich plume and a pseudo set of armor made of silver lame and gray and red satin.
label: Description (Brief)
content: His voiceover was performed by Harry Hickox, part of the husband and wife team, Mary and Harry Hickox, that created the original Jump Jump radio broadcast. Two hands are needed to work this puppet--one controls the body, while the other hand operates a wood and string mechanism that moves his eyes and mouth.
