Humpty Dumpty: Was It a Fall After All?
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 together again.
But what broke Humpty Dumpty, after all?
Humpty Dumpty cherished his wife,
Wumpty Dumpty, the light of his life.
Why did she leave him, alone and depressed,
and sue him for something like emotional distress?
She broke him long before the fall could.
Humpty Dumpty said no goodbyes.
Humpty Dumpty looked to the skies.
Maybe in heaven he'd feel okay.
Maybe in heaven, she'd want to stay.
There was no more for him here.
So Humpty Dumpty did not fall.
Humpty jumptied.
