Evaporation

Some people seem to have it all.
Some keep running and trying.

And I feel gone.

Humpty Dumpty, 
would you mind scooching?

expectation unfolds a dampener
when there's always another

on easter morning
                blue egg in the nest unboiled
                                         humpty dumpty mess

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
But so Humpty Dumpty wouldn’t fall
He was sent by the head of human resource
On a three week health and safety course

Humpty Dumpty Smoked Out

Huffy Puffy had a smoke

Huffy Puffy had to choke

All the king’s doctors and all the king’s men

Couldn’t put Huffy Puffy’s lungs together again.

Humpty Dumpty had a Great Fall 
His Winter was one of the best of them all
The Spring was a gift of Eternal Life
Summer reminds him of the Death of his Wife

Premium Member Fairy Tale Happy

Goldilocks had three, not one berry, 
Humpty Dumpty in jubilation
Mary, who is quite ordinary
Rainbow gold tip tethers creation
Jack, Jill, and my son are happy.

Humpty Dumpty

Republican head
Democrat heart
Mired in conflict
Forever apart
Symbiotic division
Zero Sum in intent
Mutual destruction
—broken not bent

Premium Member Humpty's Don'T Bounce

Humpty Dumpty didn’t bounce like a grape
Nor fly away with a magical cape
He turned a shell of himself
When he fell off the shelf
Since they hadn’t yet, invented duck tape

Premium Member The Humpty Dumpty Conundrum

The Humpty Dumpty conundrum -
is it a cravat or cummerbund?
Do not answer this in haste - 
from the bottom up what is his waist
might as well be his neck,
and now that egg is in a wreck.

Premium Member Gotta Crack a Few Eggs - Or a Big One

Humpty Dumpty fell from great height, perfectly mixing the yolk and the white. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men had them some omelettes, then had some again.

People yelled to Humpty, “DON'T FALL!” But Humpty never listens, he's a stubborn butterball Came tumbling down His undies turned brown “Not The Brightest Egg” someone did call

Humpty Dumpty

All the Kings men were out at the Ball
When rumours say Humpty had taken a fall
But he's still in one piece and without any pain
In fact, he's on holiday, on the south coast of Spain

Premium Member The Scrambling of Humpty-Dumpty

Humpty-Dumpty sat on the wall and gambled,

   That if he fell his yolk would not be scrambled.

      Yet when he fell,

         He cracked his shell.

            Alas, no way he could be reassembled!

Sunny Side

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Got lil drunk, then broke
Enough with stories,
Crack the damn yoke!
Miracle be with  wall
Drama it started all
Without the climb
There is no fall,
What would then...
God's Glory call?

Premium Member The Rest Of The Story

One often tries to get things back,
to fix and sort without the knack,
HUMPTY DUMPTY comes to mind,
don’t be silly, rash or blind,
but looking hard as best one can,
for stuff alike a top class plan, 
a swop or close match just began

TALKING WITH HUMPTY DUMPTY

Humpy dumpty, knowing that you
Were an egg, why would you sit
On a wall and are you that clumsy
To fall off without anyone pushing you
You knew that if you fell
They couldn’t put you back together
Again, wish I could have helped you

Premium Member Humpty Dumpty Goes West

Humpty Dumpty came to town
wearing a despicable frown,
ordered a drink and drank it down,
sitting up so tall.

An egg as stubborn as mule,
he had forgotten the golden rule.
So, though he sat high on his stool,
he took a dreadful fall.

Humpty Dumpty

So let me get this straight. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. He had a great fall and broke into a bunch of pieces. So the king called upon horses and men to put him back together again? The king called upon horses to put him back together again?

     Archipelago, a word rarely spoken
     Dictionary lists it as a token
        gesture to eggheads and nerds
        who have to know every word
     Just don’t ask Humpty-Dumpty                     
               ~ his recollection’s broken
