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
