"eggicide" a Humpty Dumpty Tale

Remember Humpty Dumpty Who fell off the wall? Well, it wasn't no accident We can prove he didn't fall It was a government conspiracy They were testing a new glue They wanted him to volunteer But he wasn't wanting to So, all the king's horses And all the king's men Were calling him names And threatening him He was pushed to his death This story is true (Remember the government Was testing their glue?) They want us to think His feet started to slide But he didn't just slip It was a homicide An eye witness came forward And told of this news But there was very little evidence And so few clues His DNA was visible Where that poor egg had broke The shell was in pieces And covered in yoke There wasn't any fingerprints You understand my reasoning The egg had been scrambled Without any seasoning In chicken coops everywhere This story's still told Rumor even has it That his pieces was sold So try and remember When you eat your next egg If you feel something cruchy It might be his leg

Hmmm...a government conspiracy may indeed have been at work in this homocide. Wouldn't be the first time, Larry. Thanks for brightening my day with you wit. Love, Carolyn
