humpty dumpty, deathbound

step on a crack and you'll break the old hag's back

humpty dumpty was put on ice
when the ground beneath him failed to suffice

humpty dumpty went and croaked
all the way down there you'll see his yolk

humpty dumpty went splitsville
with aplomb and emphasis and whites to spill

humpty dumpty met his maker
under wrathful peppercorns, saltshaker

humpty dumpty lost his map
to a grocery bagger's bagging mishap

humpty dumpty passed away
on a very bright and sunny day

humpty dumpty dragged stage-left
down chutes and whispers with surprising heft

humpty dumpty took swan-dive
art as artist served with chives

humpty dumpty epitaph'd
signed, printed, good for a laugh

humpty dumpty went to hell:
a fall from grace he didn't take too well

humpty dumpty in upstate farm
where surely he'll be safe from harm

humpty dumpty's obituary reads:
a healthy breakfast everyone needs

humpty dumpty took a fall
"arghf! blast! damn it all!"

humpty dumpty's last despair:
big bald head under windswept hair

humpty dumpty on death row
why the chair? give him a good throw

humpty dumpty fell and fell
till the ground met his brittle shell

humpty dumpty, a sorry fool,
and a sorrier viscous pool

humpty dumpty went and said
off with his king, "down with my head!"

humpty dumpty didn't know
that after it all, he'd find it so...
