THE FINAL ACT

THE FINAL ACT After Humpty Dumpty’s fall Angry residents placed a call The locals destroyed the wall As it shouldn’t be there at all Injured Humpty was all gloom Alone in the emergency room Having to use a nom de plume Talking with doctors on Zoom With meds all suitably labelled Finally diagnosed as disabled His complaint was then tabled And a damages claim enabled Then he was in constant pain Smiling went against the grain But was provided with a cane Yet would never dance again All the King’s horses and men First aid was beyond their ken As fighting was their acumen Hadn’t joked much since then Now Humpty has lost weight One could say he’s in a state His scheduled operation is late Now wondering about his fate It sounds just like a tale of woe But that is the way a life can go He’s a producer now you know Sitting on walls is his new show
