"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
