Humpty Dumpty Cute Vector Set 6820721 Vector Art at Vecteezy
When they made Humpty Dumpty He turned out to be grumpy Because of his fragile state He's not to make a mistake A padded path, made for him Full of cotton, thick not thin He must go only this way He wants the opposite way But it's dangerous we say Stubbornly he climbs the wall We begged him that he would fall So tethering there he sat He told everyone to skat His look was not like before It seems he wants to ignore As the town tried to implore He had a new agenda His life is so delicate So this is how things will take Unhappy was he He said one, two, three And fell openly into smithereens All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put Humpty together again
