Notes About The Poem

"All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again"

Egg Shell Pieces

Egg shell pieces
       joined by gossamer membrane        
provided cheat sheet for 3D jigsaw puzzle
       to unscramble Humpty Dumpty.
            Women did it, when men
                 and horses failed,
	           with ten thumbs
		       and hooves
                           flayed.
