The Mystery of Humpty's Fall

This is the tale of a mighty great fall And how it came to be from sitting on a wall From the beginning it was never revealed The bricks and the mortar were never sealed Required permits were never approved And the 'Danger' sign someone had moved The site was deemed a building space The order was to completely replace So when Humpty Dumpty was strolling along He had no idea the wall wasn't strong And when Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall The crumbling bricks caused him to fall All the kings' horses' and all the kings' men Couldn't put Humpty together again So that's when they made the triple zero call Requesting assistance, Humpty's had a fall Please come quick, it's your help we need Humpty's hit his head and it's starting to bleed Paramedics arrived and Humpty was assessed Onto a stretcher, wounds to be dressed Arriving at the hospital poor Humpty was scared Having stitches was something Humpty had feared Just a stitch or two the doctor said We need to stitch that cut on your head Once it's done there'll be no pain So the doctors put Humpty together again 3rd July 2018
