The Mystery of Humpty Dumpty - the Cover Up

I heard the tale of Humpty Dumpty who sat on a wall, and how he managed to have a terrible and fatal fall. But let me be the first to set the record straight, everything that happened that day was not fate. Humpty was a rising and upcoming gymnast, that could do flips on the balance beam really fast. He had enemies that hated him to the core, they wanted to be Him,and so much more. So one day they greased down the infamous wall, Dumpty practiced there everyday, they knew he’d fall. Until this day no one knows the true story, It was the biggest lie told in modern history. My father was a king's horseman and a gymnast, and helped kill him and think of a lie that would last. 6-28-18

Very interesting Alexis, you can definitely relate this to what happens in our world today.Denials, cover ups and corruption. Most importantly I think you've solved the mystery of humpy's demise. Tom
