Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Lawsuit
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty back together again…
…But maybe some finical justice will
For when Humpty Dumpty sat on that wall
A new phone wire is what he was to install
Just a blue-collar worker, making his pay
When company budget cuts took his safety away
He fell from the wall with no safety cord
A violation of the laws set by the lord
Article 300 of our land’s decree
Demand that we give justice to my client, Mr. Humpty
His medical insurance should cover the best
So, this fact should have put Mr. Humpty to rest
But his company, unfortunately, holds no remorse’s
That his surgery was left to some men and some horses
A sickening injustice for all of us to see
The media supports it, “Justice for Humpty”
His incident shows what is wrong with the nation
He needs monetary justice, and workers compensation
I hope that you hear a hard-working man’s plea
I hope this is a lesson for all to see
Now excuse me your honor, a moment I’ll be
My client just snuck outside, and fell out of a tree
…your honor, next I call next to the stand, Gravity
