Notes About The Poem

For 1449 March Posted Poems Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

Humpty Dumpty Goes West

Humpty Dumpty came to town
wearing a despicable frown,
ordered a drink and drank it down,
sitting up so tall.

An egg as stubborn as mule,
he had forgotten the golden rule.
So, though he sat high on his stool,
he took a dreadful fall.

The tooth fairy is real. I may have use for him soon. He's usually dependable except when he's out drinking with Humpty Dumpty.

Rachel Treacher March 4, 2026 at 9:59 PM Sounds like Humpty had been drinking too much pride on this occasion David Crandall March 5, 2026 at 4:11 PM haha, probably. I can't explain that guy, but I know he gets nasty when he drinks...and also, he has a round butt, so it's hard for him to balance on a stool.

David Crandall March 4, 2026 at 12:21 PM Good point! Humpty Dumpty is one guy we need to keep away from the sauce - for obvious reasons!
