I read somewhere Brian that Humpty Dumpty was the name given to a canon during the English Civil War! Through the looking Glass he wasn't so much of an all round good egg to Alice was he? :) Cheers - Gary

What does that little poem mean? I read somewhere it was about a king who fell and that is what it sounds like. Your visits to my page are always inspiring. Sara

I use this clerihew as a satire on the 'fadish' woke semantics of this era Sara
