The Murder of Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
But he didn't fall deliberately, he was pushed.
He was smahed to pieces when he landed on his tush. 
Now his family is without a father and that is sad.
His family doesn't think it was a yolk, they are mad.
His poor family had to pick up the pieces after Humpty fell
And when I say pieces, I mean the pieces of the egg shell.
After six months, the murderer was finally caught.
He thought he'd get off scott free but he did not.
He killed Humpty Dumpty to get revenge because some eggs made him sick.
He was food poisoned when a chef used rotten eggs when he ordered eggs benedict.
The killer asked the judge to have mercy and he got on his knees and begged.
He doesn't understand why he got life in prison just for breaking an egg.
