Why was Humpty Dumpty on the wall,
He must have known that he would fall.
When all the King's men saw Humpty they laughed,
Seeing him twitching when cracked in half.
'It's his own fault,' they said, 'Why should we help?'
Mr. Dumpty, in distress, let out a small yelp.
It's not that they couldn't put him together again,
'He's just an egg, more food for us,' said the men.
So they cleaned the mess and called a few friends,
A huge breakfast to celebrate Humpty's end.
Goldilocks was there with three brown bears,
And as always she was showing off her hair.
Arguing as usual was Cinderella and Snow White,
Over who gets Prince Charming...they always fight.
3 little pigs came with the wolf that chased Red Riding Hood,
All at once she knew instantly that he was up to no good.
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater refused to eat the eggs,
He much preferred the pumpkin on the ground beside his legs.
As usual, Mary and her little lamb showed up fashionably late,
‘Sorry everyone,’ she spoke, ‘I had an all night date.’
She fixed her skirt, brushed her hair, and sat down next to Peter,
Laughter and giggles, he would get lucky, too bad she was a cheater.
All in all the night was a giant success, everyone had fun,
They even all helped clean up when everyone was done.
No one was sad that Humpty committed suicide,
In fact, everyone rejoiced that Humpty had suddenly died.



'I once picked a daisy's petals searching for an answer. I went through 10 daisy's before getting the answer I was looking for...I love you.'

This is very clever with a creative twist!  Your humour rocks! Well done.

Take care,
