"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
