An Analysis :: Iambic Decapentasyllabic Verse
Precisely none says, what made Humpty Dumpty famous;
Since 1872 famed, when printed in the book named
'Alice Through the Looking Glass' by writer, Lewis Caroll showing it
in illustration as an egg, portrayal which continued
to remain popular since then, not complicated story;
The titular Humpty Dumpty, sits on a wall and falls off,
fail to put it back together, popular rhyme for kids ends.
Amusingly one may think it, egg as the main character
though the lyrics don't describe that; probably the fiction helped.
Historical evidence tells, it’s a very large cannon.
During the English Civil War, it fell off from height, shattered.
If anything had a great fall, off a wall it’s logical
to think that would be fragmented, that too irreparably.
Story tells "don't sit atop walls", is a good lesson for kids.
Maybe Humpty Dumpty rhyme was used, to look from laws in Physics.
Tried to demonstrate the Second Law of Thermodynamics;
This Law very clearly explains, in Physics what's 'entropy'.
It's a measure of disorder, also system randomness
It says higher the entropy, the higher the disorder.
After fall of Humpty Dumpty, and subsequent shattering,
inability to put it , together again is the
rep of this principle as it would be highly unlikely
to go back to earlier state, with lower entropy, as
in an isolated system, it'll never ever decrease.
