Humpty Dumpty
By Katanga
09 June 2008
A second attempt at Josie's nursery rhyme challenge . . .


Oh, what fun it is to write
For the children's site today!

Hey!

Cheers!

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on the loo
Humpty Dumpty did a big poo
All the King's plumbers
And lavatory men
Couldn't unblock the U-bend again!

Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? 
He worked out his log with his pencil. 
 
Kids love anything to do with poo. Whether they should be encouraged is another matter entirely! 
 
Enjoyed.

Thanks Phil! 
 
I think grown-ups (me, for one) also enjoy poo stuff - it releases 'the child within', methinks . . . 
 
I am vainly hoping that adults all over the land will be chortling at Josie's, Others', and my poor, pooey stuff, even if they 'Harrumph!' and log off as soon as another so-called adult enters the room. 
 
Dream on, John! 
 
Cheers!

Oh dear - ha ha - I had an idea that I'd find Humpty Dumpty in the loo also. When you have grandchildren, whatever will they think of your nursery rhymes, John?

Really really good, I love the idea of Humpty Dumpty having a dump - did he end up with egg on his face I wonder? :p
Wonderland!

Thanks Kellie! 
 
Yes, indeed! 
 
Humpty Dumpty got off the loo 
Looked at me, said "Who are you?" 
I tried to reply -  
Well, I couldn't lie . . . 
But Humpty Dumpty could hardly stand -  
He'd got egg on his face - in Wonderland! 
 
Yo! Ho! 
 
Keep them coming!

My boy laughed at this one. He began singing the original Humpty Dumpty, and thought this was a sequel to his life. When I explained what plumbers were and U-bend etc, he felt very superior to Humpty Dumpty concerning his loo habits. 
 
Mia :grin
Oh! Wonderful!

Ah Mia, my lovely friend! 
 
I cannot imagine feeling superior to the great unequaled Humpty Dumpty . . .  
 
You've made me giggle all the way to the loo! 
 
Cjerrers! 
 
John X Ha!

God knows what the readers to this part of the website think! ha ha - I suppose they can see we are having fun and not writing about our broken hearts. If it has caused so much laughter then it is better than a tonic. There's teachers coming here looking for intellectual material for their classes. ha ha -
Intellectual Josie!

Oh yes!  
 
Ha! Ha! Ha! 
 
I can imagine some rather 'anal' teachers pursing their lips at this . . . 
 
This is not aimed at them, God help 'em, more at the experienced teacher who has time in her / his life, who might find it entertaining for their children . . . 
 
I know of primary school teachers seeking therapy because of the stress of it all, and I thoroughly sympathise with them, without a hint of a joke or any touch of irony! 
 
My writing ambition . . .? 
 
ONE child laughs - I've done my job . . . 
 
Mia! Your Nathan springs to mind! 
 
More than one child laughs - I'm in Heaven! 
 
Serious! 
 
Adults laugh - I'm in trouble! 
 
Ha! Ha! Ha! 
 
Cheers All!
