Humpty Dumptys Rescue

Broken and bruised, Humpty Dumpty lay by the gate, Lifeless throughout the ages had become his fate, None of the kings horses or none of the kings men, Desired to look upon his broken body every since then, Until,one day a handsome, little nosy boy came, He was known throughout his village as "No Name. His mother and his father, it seemed that no one knew, For he had lived on the streets since the age of two. Upon finding the broken shells, he recovered every single one, And proudly showed the townsfolk, who asked,"What is it my son?" "Just an old cracked egg," he heard most of them, laughingly, say, But he knew that he had stumbled upon something valuable that day. No Name rushed to his own little secret hiding-out, Determined that he could discover what the egg was about, With his own modern glue, he put Humpty Dumpty together again, And, they became the envy of all scientist, women and men. When the world finally proved that his character egg was very old, They came from everywhere and offered No Name lots of silver and gold. But,instead, he chose to be honored at every library and kid's fair, Throughout the modern world, Humpty Dumpty and No Name became quite a pair.
