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
From downside wrong
And so he 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 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.
