Call Me Captain Humpty Said

humpty dumpty has a book that does not go away
We tried to peek, but he was not ready to play.
He told us to leave, for he was on deck a ship
Battling a storm, the cutter was ready to flip!

Call me captain, old Humpty said.
His cheeks were pink, his nose was red.
Or walk the plank he added in a weird way.
We tiptoed past him on this reading Tuesday.
