The Wall
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Why was Humpty there at all?
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men didn’t want to put Humpty together again
For you see Humpty Dumpty was not well liked
He would prank the folk well into the night
Causing fear and lots of fright
The king had ordered his horses and men to find Humpty and bring him his end
Humpty Dumpty caught wind of this this hunt
So he ran into his hut
He packed his bags with as much as he could
He packed horns
He packed gags
He packed anything he could
The king had sent out all his horses and men to Humpty Dumpty’s hut
Humpty heard the gallop of the horses
Humpty had to go
Humpty left the hut to a place unknown
Humpty found the wall
The king’s men found Humpty
All humpty could do was go up the wall
You see Humpty still loved to prank and joke
He told the men he will be broke
The men laughed
The horses neighed
Humpty loved the laugh
He lived for screams
Yelps
Scares
But the laughter filled the air
He loved the sound
So sweet to him
He felt proud of what he did
He danced on the wall
Making a fool of himself
The men laughed louder
The neighs got wilder
Humpty Dumpty finally sat down on the wall
The king’s men calmed down and began their pursuit again
They rammed into the wall trying to shake it
Humpty felt it and could not brace for it
The shaking caused Humpty to fall off the great wall
Until he landed on the ground
Humpty is no more
The kingdom is safe
The kingdom rejoiced
But what is this?
A new laugh was heard amongst the crowd
