Darker side of Nursery rhymes: Humpty Dumpty

Darker side of Nursery rhymes: Humpty Dumpty

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty dumpty had a great fall
and all the kings horses, and all the kings men
couldn’t put humpty together again
Oh poor little dumpty
for he was so grumpy
So he put himself together half way
and cursed the kingdom for all his day
But when night fell quick
and dumpty felt sick
A fairy showed him an evil way.

"Show the king this mirror.." She said
"And soon he will die, of an exploded head."
Dumpty grinned with a wide psychotic look
knowing he could rid the world of this idiotic nook.
So the next day, with dumpty's final breath
he presented the king with a treasured bequeath.
Feeling he should accept dumpty's final wish
he accepted the present with a giddy lisp.

Dumpty was buried among the kingdoms royalty
for he was looked upon for his great loyalty.
And that night, the king decided to flourish
and bring out the mirror he decided to cherish.
With one look into the beautiful mirror
the kings face turned from giddy to terror.
His face nothing but bone
the king made a loud moan
His terror and scare quick to dampen his judgment
the king lept from his balcony, meeting certain pavement.

For this time, dumpty chanted among the ghouls
singing of how his king, was nothing but a fool.

So recently when I had insomnia I was thinking about how screwed up nursery rhymes really are. I never got around to writing about them so reading this was awesome. Keep writing!

Love,
