Humpty Dumpty revisited

[Doreen Peri]

Silly little end-rhyme ditty I wrote today about the strength of an egg.

.............

Humpty Dumpty, the eggman, had skin made of shell.
Everyone noticed. 'Twas easy to tell.
Inside his shell which was delicate, thin,
was a sensitive soul which lied deep within.
Some thought it funny he had a thin skin
and wanted to see his guts splattered about,
so quickly they easily figured it out!

All they needed to do was to give him a push,
and CRACK!, he would fall to the concrete and mush
from his soul would seep out to the street and his blood
would mix with the soil on the hillside and mud
would turn into quicksand where his spirit sunk
and cause him to feel in a terrible funk!

So they pushed him, they did, off the wall where he sat
and his shell cracked and soul seeped and blood made a SPLAT!
His soul and his blood bled from within his core
and those who had pushed him loved watching it pour!
They laughed and they laughed and ignored his demise.
A weird kind of glee could be seen in their eyes!

Poor Humpty was gone, and the murderers grinned.
They reveled and partied because they had sinned!
Destroying his spirit, their goal was achieved!
Not a soul gave a damn. Not one of them grieved.
It was sort of like kids on a playground, so mean,
the bullies who pleasure in making a scene.

But murders aren't funny, so I didn't laugh.
So I'm posting this rhyme on Humpty's behalf.
Poor Humpty was pushed off the wall but for what?
So people could laugh at his blood from his gut?
But Humpty was stronger than they ever thought.
He arose from the dead, he was not overwrought!
He soon re-assembled his blood and his soul,
put his shell on his spirit and he became whole!

Remember dear Humpty when you go to shove,
since shells can be stronger and built of real love!
Some eggs will refuse to be gotten rid of.
