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
