The Mystery of Humpty Dumpty

The day was sunny all the Kings soldiers And all the Kings men were training and working, It had been deigned necessary by the king that a wall was needed To keep out trespasses from other nursery rhymes, After all his kingdom needed to protect its borders And ensure he made it great again From the threat of little Bo Peep, Jack and Jill as well others, However the King allowed Humpty Dumpty reside there Because he was very rich and the king loved other rich people. On this fateful sunny day though Humpty Dumpty decided to climb up on the wall He wanted to see how the lesser peasant nursery rhyme people were doing, He saw they were unhappy with the wall But Humpty could careless and mocked them from on high, As he did this he suddenly, inexplicably tumbled backward Humpty fell off the wall! With a loud noise Humpty cracked The ground shook, All the Kings horses and all the Kings men tried putting him back together again But failed. Who did this deed? Who could be so callous and brutal? Some conspiracy theorists said it was the king Others said it was the other nursery rhyme people Or was it merely a false flag? Either way the king took the opportunity to use this tragedy And invade, kill and oppress other nursery rhyme lands Leaving them destitute and in a mess, Then offered them the chance to let him help rebuild at a cost Using all his Kings horses and all his Kings men, What a kind king he was. 25/6/2018

Hi Fauxcroft, I enjoyed how you used current info with this administration( Trump's) and wrote a good piece. Good use of other characters from other nursery rhymes as well. Congratulations on your placement in the contest:-) Alexis

Who so ever it was, it certainly gives the king an excuse to kill other people and probably to extend his territory, many congratulations on your 2nd position in the contest, good luck and have a really nice day
