atop the apex
is a most precarious point
to be stationed

the slightest tremor
can topple down the tip's vantage
engineers know this

yet some will insist
on being seated trickily there
clinging to the edge

like inane humpty dumpty
setting himself well up for
an inglorious fall

Humpty Dumpty, sat gazing up.
Up on a day at noon.
He smiled with song in his heart,
and soon began to croon.

He echoed near and echoed far.
He sang out as men came.
On horses they gathered near,
to think he was not sane.

He sat not caring what they thought,
for with voice he sang loud.
Though he had an off key sound,
he sang and felt so proud.

But in his quest to sing loud,
he lost his balance true.
All kings men were yes in shock.
They didn't know what to do.

They tried to piece him back, they did.
Their intentions were pure.
So to honor Humpty's quest,
they sang off key some more.

Another perspective to the Humpty Dumpty poem.  LOL
