Notes About The Poem

A Whimsical Trope

A Whimsical Trope 

Life is a circus
Of acrobats and clowns; 
Everywhere there's a scammer
Ready to take advantage.

Humpty Dumpty was clumsy,
Rather dull, and not very bright.
He never knew right-side up
From wrong-side down,
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.
