Humpty - the Coroners Hearing

Humpty – The Coroner’s Hearing

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
Of that there can be no dispute.
The Kings Men should have done better,
Their diagnosis was not absolute.

We couldn’t put him back together,
All the Kings Horses said.
There was nothing we could do Sir,
Humpty Dumpty was dead.

And why was Humpty sat on the wall,
Without a proper risk assessment.
So, in conclusion I must report,
All the Kings Men were negligent.
