HUMPTY DUMPTY

Humpty Dumpty had a cock-horse
That’s why the sweet Mary sued for divorce.
All the Pope’s blackbirds and all the King’s men
Were unable to find his magical pen,
So they called in the priests who were terrible knaves,
Who were familiar with things that soil and deprave,
And they chased a kitty cat under a chair.
But ah! There were no choir boys hiding down there.
Then out popped a rooster, Cock-a-doodle-do
I’ve found a glass slipper (in fact I’ve found quite a few)
Humpty Dumpty’s DNA is all over the lot
So they took him outside and Humpty Dumpty was shot.
The moral of this story is, don’t ride a cock-horse
If you don’t want your marriage to end in divorce.
