Humpty-Dumpty

'Humpty-dumpty sat on a wall'

watching the world

untouched, untouchable

perfectly sitting, silently watching.

'Humpty-dumpty had a great fall'

Too much for him, sitting up there all alone

too tired, of sitting, watching

tired of it all

he fell                  and shattered

and the truth,

the sad, terrible truth,

is that all the king's horses and all the kind's men

couldn't put Humpty together again.

Hi Ana...
Smilesz.
Cute poem there ...
a nice variation from the usual nursery rhyme.

I had also written an epic collection of five poems based on this. If u are free, pls visit my site and find those poems, generally entitled 'Egg Chronicles'.
Enjoy ~!~ hehe..
