Cute Humpty did sit on a wall-
it's said his shell broke by a fall.
His bottom was round,
and so it was found
it wasn't his fault after all.
You see he got there by mistake:
a farmer who lived by a lake
while gathering eggs,
to hold one, son begs
and promised that it wouldn't break.
While traveling home, they had stopped
to watch a small frog that had hopped,
right by the son's feet-
he looked, oh, so sweet!
Son, top a stone wall, his egg propped.
He bent down to grasp his new pet;
this cute one would be the best yet!
But quick as can be
on wall frog did flee,
and egg's fragile balance upset!
So that's how the true story goes!
The real Humpty didn't wear clothes-
just plain, round, and plump
rocked by a frog's jump.
These odd, hidden facts, I expose!
