The Humpty Dumpty Case

Humpty Dumpty's job was an important one he knew a secret service agent looking for clues sitting on the brick wall as a lookout man as the kings parade caused horse traffic jams Looking around for any suspicious suspects he looked up and down, right and to the left not seeing anyone looking to kill the king he let his guard down not noticing anything Before he knew it he felt a mighty shove falling down he cracked open showing gooey substance with the kings parade coming to a quick halt running over to poor Humpty wondering who was at fault Most of the kings men picked up his pieces of shell trying to piece him back together which was sheer hell suddenly the towns baker showed up with a huge shovel saying I'll clean this up without any trouble So they let the baker have poor Humpty's remains who used his yolk and egg whites but not his brain whipping up lofty delicious cakes, pies and souffles Humpty's unfortunate death sure made his day Which led the kings men to be highly suspicious as the baker always thought of Humpty as mighty delicious anytime he had seen Humpty Dumpty passing on by you could hear the baker whisper I need him for my cakes and pies So they interrogated the baker who was a nervous wreck and after 48 hours he broke down and confessed saying he was real low on eggs that fateful day and climbed up behind and shoved Humpty without delay Finally the case was solved and the baker sent to jail while poor Humpty's remains were in cakes that were for sale Humpty's best friend read his eulogy not believing he was dead sobbing he exclaimed, man he was an awfully good egg!! 6-24-18
