The Humpty Dumpty Conundrum

The Humpty Dumpty conundrum -
is it a cravat or cummerbund?
Do not answer this in haste - 
from the bottom up what is his waist
might as well be his neck,
and now that egg is in a wreck.

Now poor Humpty Dumpty is a fine wreck - No one can measure from bottom to neck - His legs are in shock - Because of their loss - And birds are enjoying a tasty peck… Beryl

Oh my, Humpty's in peril - what a state he's in! To the rescue comes Beryl - with a dustbin!
