Need hatch on it in time
in fail brings havoc

Thought spirals endless come and go
What’s it to do with us
We’re blissful in staid stillness slow
Why for would we make fuss

Save us, save us, we beg
Come now, be a good egg
To bliss beats, shake a leg

They scar blissfulness 
Thought spirals endless

 Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, 
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again

People came to see the fall
Why let a good egg go at all
They took some pots, they took some pans
They cooked him him up with cheese and ham

With apologies to Mother Goose...

So salty and tasty to boot  
back in the old days we didn't have loot 

they came in a drum full of crunch 
so crispy and light you just had to munch 

humpty dumpty never sat down
he always smiled and never wore a frown 

he was a good egg, oh so tall  
but I heard one day he had a big fall 

and all the Kings horses and men,
couldn't put Dumpty together again....

Some say that he is a nut
Possibly that could be true
But crack one open, you'll find
Something tasty and new!

Some say she is a book worm
She must have one to peruse
But crack any book open
There'll be a new world to choose!

Some say he is a good egg
Always helps when help is due
But crack one open you'll see
That the yolk might be on you!

Some say I'm adolescent 
Wasting four stanzas of rhymes
Just for twisted pleasure in
Repeating "but crack" four times!...
