HUMPTY'S RETURN

HUMPTY’S RETURN
When poor Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall, The Eggsperts all gave him no hope at all. No one could put him together again, Not the king’s horses nor all the king’s men. He must have lost too much yolk they all said And without a transfusion, he’d be dead. But the medics said they could make him well And set out to work on his shattered shell. Their training told them what they had to do. And using a large tube of super-glue. They put into practice what they’d trained for And bit-by-bit, he was ovoid once more But, although he’s feeling over the moon, Humpty won’t be climbing any time soon

Not sure what they would have transfused him with. Let's hope he still has half a yolk in his head

Very good. I'm happy old Humpty lived to see another day.
