ADULT CONTENT

On 4 March 2024 France made history by being the first country in the world to enshrine right to abortion in constitution.

See my blog, Nursery Rhymes – The Sequel, dated 20 April 2024.

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. The little girl sat on the chair. The little girl said a prayer. All the church canons made no difference To the predicament she was now in. The bell hung by its strong cannon. The bell knelled for lost key tenon. All the righteous and all the judges’ men Witnessed her tumble down the steep court stairs.

Wow. thanks for this incredible poem. I am definitely inspired! Being here in the Poetry Soup community is a lot like going back to school after all these years floating around aimlessly trying to make a living.

I am glad the poem inspired you. I too use poetry to keep the old grey cells occupied :)
