Humpty Dumpty and His Cherished Wall

Humpty Dumpty felt used and broken. This feeling had hit him all at once. After he fell off his cherished wall. The brick wall had been infatuated with him for years. His parents had warned him about this siren’s wiles. She had enticed and excited his libido. He had not a whit of a chance to ignore this wall. She had a slick top, which he discovered the hard way. He slipped off her almost immediately. Landing at the feet of his unrequited love. It was awful. He never felt so broken or so used. The wall laughed, which made it worse.

And, unfortunately, he could not be restored to his original perfection! Once broken...well,...reminds me of how a child will bring a broken toy to someone he looks up to to be fixed.

No "yoke" at all.
