Humpty Dumpty

Alas, Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall,

   Leaving a quivering yolk, that is all!

      Then, his nephews and nieces,

         Scooped up all of the pieces.

            It cracked them up showing atrocious gall!

What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.

G'day Robert... I wouldn't mind it if humpty fell off backwards into a frying pan. His nieces and nephews would have a hard getting the yolk off me - thanks again for the chuckle Robert - Lindsay
