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 together again
The horses were spooked and stamping the ground,
Rearing their heads at the sights that they found.
The men mended naught as they stumbled away
Even the strongest of hearts would not stay.
Diamonds were turned into rocks in the sky
While the King counted coins in his castle up high.
His wife, unobserved, once lovely and kind
Now talks to her cards and locks up her mind.
All of the cat disappeared but his tail,
Alice drank potions all to no avail.
My beautiful bonnie died over the sea,
For nobody brought back my bonnie to me.
The dish and the spoon ran away but were caught,
The cat and the fiddle played but were fought
Rapunzel heard voices say 'let down your hair!'
But with every call she found nobody there.
The Grand Duke of York with his men more than plenty
Blundered up hills ‘till he had less than twenty.
Their pockets of posies were trampled in dirt,
Watchéd by eyes that no man would avert.
So there Humpty lay in pieces apart
Gone are his mind and his voice and his heart
Remains are a pile of dust, once his shell
And the long lasting echoes of a funeral bell
