I Fried That Egg

I sat upon a stone cold wall Where once an egg did sit But, it had fallen loud and hard Upon the ground, it split I stared down to the falling place Where Humpty’s life was fried As all those men just couldn’t help So Humpty Dumpty died If he had known that I was there Then another seat he’d take But, I was there so way before And determined Humpty’s fate
