Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty walked along the wall
Walking steadily as the darkness of night began to envelope his surroundings
For any regular egg, this would have been difficult
But Humpty made this walk often
It was cold this night so Humpty was already in a hurry to get home
Footsteps is what Humpty began to here
And with each footstep Humpty went from a light jog to an all out run
Put your hands up son an officer said getting closer
Humpty didn't know what he'd done wrong
Humpty stopped and shakily turned to the officer
He was terrified
He had every right to be
For what happened was all to real to be written about in a fairytale
When Humpty turned he startled the officer
The officer fired on young Humpty
After being shot Humpty fell from the wall
The officer had fled the scene
And as the morning sun had begun to rise
All of the king's horses and all the king's men didn't care if Humpty was put together again
