Egg-Stant History 4

Owl..' Owl..? Dumpty had just turned back to resume speaking, yet when he looked the bird was not to be seen Now where did that Owl go?? Then Dumpty looked down..! there full stretch and upon its back lay the poor Owl..! What could he do..?? as he was thinking just that thought he ran 3 times round the fallen Owls form in sheer panic..! then out of the corner of his eye; he saw the dish..! Water he thought! and grabbed the dish..' then just to be on the safe side he picked up the spoon,! he rushed over to an old wooden pail and dipped the dish under the water. he ran back and threw it onto the Owl it took seven attempts before the Owl suddenly shook its head and staggered onto its feet steady on dear Owl said Dumpty as it swayed on the spot..' Oh said the Owl how awful..' ( a square word ) Its no good at all, Excuse me but would you mind if I help you to sit on that low branch over there,,' Dumpty said He guided the owl across and it sat down ruffling its feathers.! Do you mind dear Owl if I make so bold in asking, what Egg-sactly is a (square word?) It is a most uncouth array of words, that humans use to denigrate others said the Owl..' Its not a thing nursery rhyme characters should even know of; they cheapen peoples understanding of each other Dumpty, Oh what a terrible pass we have come to..! ( square words ) Oh how much damage they can cause..! And what a wrong thing to do to link it to the sweet brave cat...' why he even travelled to London to see the Queen and they still know him by that name there now, as a matter of fact I'll bet they still have a chair with his name on it..' this will not do I shall fight to have his name recognised as it always has been and he is certainly not a has been..! It is his by former precedent; as in (pussesion) is 9 tenths of the law..! Copyright Joe Maverick Poetry 2014
