Most people don’t know it,
Yet it’s true all the same.
Humpty Dumpty had a brother.
And Harold was his name.
Now Harold was fit and tan,
thin as a rail.
While poor Humpty was short,
portly and pale.
Humpty had no ambition
so he did not a thing.
While Harold was a Squire
and personal trainer to the King.
Harold became a lord,
and walked the castle halls.
While Humpty sat alone each day
atop the castle walls.
Lord Harold’s responsibility
was the good King’s health and weight.
But alas I guess we all know
poor Humpty Dumpty’s fate.
