HUMPTY DUMPTY

a stonnet (a sonnet that tells a well-known story)

Back to Main Stonnets Index

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses, And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!

 

Police erected tapes around the scene,

Forensic came and dusted it for clues

unscrambling the "how" and "might have been",

The Press turned up and howled for interviews.

 

Deciding on a massive show of force

the King sent all his men to solve the crime,

all evidence was trampled under horse,

"The Dumpty Case" was shut down in its prime.

 

A cover-up, for sure, and that's not all -

a fleet of trucks arrived that very day,

and carted off the somewhat suspect wall,

we watched them take the last of it away.

 

An accident - or crime? No-one can tell,

detectives souvenired the bits of shell.
