The Mystery of Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty never sat on the wall
This was how he fooled us all
He wore a large egg suit, begging for money
Portraying that he was sweet as honey
He put on an entertaining show
Until faking his demising blow
He did not know his shell would crack
And break his skull during the act
His plan backfired and, in the end,
Humpty Dumpty will never live again
