Notes About The Poem

21st Century Re-Write of Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty fell off the top of the wall
He got on the phone and gave his lawyer a call
With help from the lawyer and litigation men
Humpty is rich and won’t have to work again!

09~30~16

Inspired by Three blind mice poem by Ilene Bauer
