King Humpty


In a land so far away

Lived Humpty Dumpty the fragile egg

Who sat on a wall and began to sway

Soon to fall he began to beg

Help me! Help me! For I will crack!

But he fell a great height

In the silence echoed a loud whack

Which startled the evil kings men and knights

But then Humpty somehow arose

With not a single scratch

Nor the smallest spec of dirt on his clothes

For he was the strongest egg in the batch

So then the new king of horses and men

Found his heart pieced together again
