Humpty Gets Bumped

envelope rhyme Humpty Dumpty, brave fall guy attended the King's Christmas ball. He never guessed his downfall, empty headed, brain gone awry. Humpty Dumpty's sneaky try, bucking the Queen's serving line, “Expelled! out back, you shall dine!” close by yon royal pig sty. Humpty Dump, give us a clue, "Why did you behave so rudely?" Your etiquette, so crudely like a simple, naïve ingenue. Humpty Dumpty then stone-walled devouring a dozen eggs plus twenty-four chicken legs Sprawled thither on stone wall, he stalled. Thus, Humpty Dumpty got bumped, a bold nudge from one palace horse: "Noble king cannot endorse a cannibal, so totally stumped.” December 17, 2019
