Humpty Dumpty Revisited

Humpty Dumpty Revisited

Most people know about Humpty Dumpty
But how many know the story facts?
And maybe wonder why he sat on a wall
With a shell that so easily cracks.
And was it partly his obese type figure
That rendered him in danger to fall,
For surely he should have thought
He might easily slip off the wall?

And then the involvement of kings men
Who were presumably meant to guard,
And not fuss over an accident prone egg
So perhaps they didn't try too hard
To put his pieces back together again,
And cleaned up helped by their horse.
Who really had no choice in all this,
But then you guessed that of course?

Now onto the popularity of Humpty
Among the townsfolk needing to beg,
For food, money and other problems
And no time to worry over an egg,
Who apparently never did much work
Perhaps explaining why he was fat.
Because we need exercise and labour
And not just sit on a wall like that.

So on thinking about what happened
To cause him being put back together,
After his famous “egg stravagant” fall
Which really wasn't that clever.
For the working folk of the kingdom
Are all really now tired and bushed,
So that brings me to the conclusion
The unpopular Humpty was pushed!
