Humpty Dumpty's Poor Judgement
The press was driving Humpty Dumpty mad,
thinking about the bad fake news.
He'd debated whether to venture into the press room
and finally decided, to walk through the enchanted garden.
Looking upwards taking his steps for granted,
he fell, whirling, falling, falling down a rabbit hole.
With his magic ability to shift,
Humpty Dumpty hid in the shadows veiling himself.
His lodestone attraction to snooping got him caught on a spider's web.
A troop of fire ants came marching in with pikes in hands.
He twisted, wiggled, and squirmed.
What a mess he'd gotten himself into.
A woman pushed her way through the throng of fire ants
trying to get to the victim stuck in the web.
Humpty Dumpty found her exquisite,
having long waves of dark ebony hair
that fell around her shoulders and down her back.
She was clad in all black from her high heels
to her sheer blouse that molded her breast.
Humpty Dumpty knew he was doomed,
even his magic couldn't get him out of this.
The queen gave the order to her children to aim and throw
their pikes.
Poor Humpty Dumpty was dinner!
