HUMPTY DUMPTY


         HUMPTY DUMPTY


       Just close to main gate in front of entry,
       where standing the tall eucalyptus tree,
       sat on the wall fatty Humpty Dumpty
       in egg-shaped uniform : The king’s sentry.

       All the king’s men under Humpty Dumpty
       served him seventeen cups of hot green tea.
       He asked for food and snacks from king’s pantry.
      Prompt came chocolates, cake, cookies, pastry.

       Next he ordered seven eggs from poultry.
       Taking food he memorised poetry.
       By look he may be funny, yet pretty.
       He is intelligent, smart and witty.
