The Mystery Of Humpty Dumpty
Cute Humpty did sit on a wall-
We learned his shell broke with a fall.
His bottom was round,
Yet, 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-
It looked, oh, so sweet!
Son, top of a 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
To wall frog did flee,
The egg's fragile stance was 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!
