Don't know what made me write this.  I don't really even know the true point.

Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Nail

Humpty Dumpty sat on a ten penny nail

He cried so hard his little, round face turned pale

His short, fat arms couldn’t reach the bent spike

Jack Sprat noticed as he rode up on his bike


Humpty put his big bottom in the blue sky

With sideways look asked Jack to give it a try

“Please, remove the source of my pain and my ache      

My ability to roll along and to sit is at stake”


Jack whipped out the claw end of his hammer

This is going to hurt just a little, he stammered

 

Foot on Humpty’s butt for leverage, he tugged.

The nail found a foothold and was too snug.

He yanked and pulled with all of his might

The nail lodged in hardboiled shell firmly tight


Jack Sprat declared he had done all he could do

Wish he could help more but he had problems too

Mr. Dumpty rued the day he sat on a nail

For it found a permanent place in his egg tail.

Please don't read this to a child. It may warp them for life.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
