I'm not sure what caused this crazy little poem to spring up, but... here it is. Would love any feedback - I'm new here so I hope I do this right. Thanks again! Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty was having a ball! Got too excited and took a bad fall. So all the Kings horses and all the Kings men, considered scrambled eggs for breakfast again... Then suddenly, from across the Way, Chicken came running and shouted HEY! Stop, you crazy men there, that's my Uncle's empty chair! What kind of non-sense is in the air? You can't have eggs scrambled, you can't have eggs green, my Uncle isn't breakfast! Where has your mind been? No show! Said the Cat, who seconds that! Running behind almost losing his hat... Where have you been? This is really obscene. I insist that Humpty be fixed by Bat. Brilliant said Egg, who returned to the road. I'll hail the CAB, you gather the load... A fix is all that's needed right here... Bat will mend Uncle, sang the Chicken's cheer. Meanwhile and back at the wall, where Humpty lay, shattered by the fall... All the Kings horses and all the Kings men... Gave thought to themselves and a time back when they cared enough to try again... And the Magician watched from across the road, Her heart broken from the spill of that load. The help was on and the spectators cheerful... but the Kings men almost seem tearful. They've forgotten their Way, and with light in their eyes, it was clear as day. The cane came down across His hat... Just in case, She second that... Humpty's reconstruction, an important act. A tough road for that Chick & Cat... The CAB enroute, brings Humpty to Bat.
