Don'T Blame Alice

Ole’ Humpty Dumpty, is in a ridiculous scramble Out of the eggshell, and into a scandal After sitting so high on the throne of conceit His place in the government, now heads for defeat! Convinced that sweet Alice, with her wiggling hips Was too willing a partner, ...he will not admit Of his unfair advantage, while his staff listened at doors And heard goings on from the governor's mall While forgetting his family, no conscience at all! Teetering, he sat in his delicate shell Bragging and flaunting, ….and that wasn’t all! Till he fell into the vat of a chemical spill While wishing to fire, those spies that will tell Stones built without mortar, out of rocks that would crumble He tumbled and spiraled down into the mud His life flashed before him, like other flashers before Like Arnold, the hound dog, that thespian fox And Edwards, still bruised from a cradle that rocked Now all the kings’ horses, and all the kings’ men Wondered if Humpty can climb up again But they rode off like thunder, they won’t be caught under The waves of a scandal….if he blunders again!! ________________________________________________________
