Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

The Queen’s seamstresses they tried to sew,
The footman with glue he had a go,
Even the gardener tried, with horse poo!
The wizard attempted, with something taboo.

In the end, it was over; the Priest had to pray
And Henri the chef made them all a soufflé!

Just spotted Humpty in your line of poems. Definitely something brill about the big guy, he was always going to come to a sorry end. He would have enjoyed the soufflé I'm sure, had he been there. lol

Congratulations on your win in my contest. Making a souffle is in my mind the perfect (ending as a human goes) for the fall that Humpty Dumpty took! Great job.
