Notes About The Poem
7/10/2024 for Nursery Rhyme Wackiness Poetry Contest sponsored by Tom Woody
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall...
Or did he? It's really hard to tell,
Though he was fractured all to hell.
Indeed, his personality was split.
He had less sense than an oven mitt.
When he went to London to see the queen,
I thought it best to intervene.
I summoned the king's men and horses -
Had any taken psychology courses?
"We don't know how to read and write, and
The king says we shan't be enlightened."
So, I took things into my own hands -
Said, "you're Jack Horner, understand?"
Leaving the corner with some dame Jill,
He broke his crown, again, on the hill.
I said, "man, you are accident prone"
He asked, "Mother Hubbard, where's my bone?"
Screaming, I ran as fast as I can,
"This place is nuts. I'm the gingerbread man."
