Humpty Dumpty Sat on the Wall...

  

Our writer's group homework assignment; to take a nursery rhyme and add a modern-day twist...

Humpty Dumpty sat on 'The Wall'

To watch the Great America fall

All the democrats and republicans

Not able to put America together again

Humpty Dumpty, an egg, people say

Cried, ‘pity the people and pity the day

When, with war of words and shaking of fists

We wonder if loving kindness still exists’

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall

Waiting out a countdown to 'Babylon’s fall'

But he dozed off, as eggs will, I guess

And he fell, oh, but it was a shell of a mess

Humpty Dumpty grew famous in death

His name on everyone’s lips with each breath

Crowds gathered to babble about Dumpty’s disgraces

Unaware of the glaring yellow egg on their faces
