Humpty Dumpty Is Up There Again

There he was, again on the wall.
Unaware he might suddenly fall.
If a big wind came up, bellowing tall.
Humpty would be down, in pieces and all.

Why don’t you listen to our warning, friend?
Humpty chuckled, a warm smile he did send.
He was a fine man, personality a beautiful blend.
But of course, he fell, and this was the end.
