A Whimsical Trope Life is a circus Of acrobats and clowns, Everywhere a scammer Ready to take advantage. Humpty Dumpty was clumsy, Rather dull and not very bright. Who never knew right-side up Or downside wrong, And so became a criminal. Bring the blunderbuss And bring the handcuffs. Today we make the bust And arrest Humpty Dumpty And that’s no guff. And so we said goodbye When he took to flight. Nevertheless, whatever we think Wherever the yegg, Humpty Dumpty is scrambled egg. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty laughed and fell. Everyone there offered prayers and things, But no-one could put him together again.
