[ Humpty Dumpy Climbed A Slippery Wall ]
[ All Because He Lost His Ball ]
[ When He Got To The Very Top ]
[ He Took Out His Phone ]
[ Only To Watch It Drop ]
[ He Clasped His Hands But Only Caught
Air ]
[ He Got Upset As He Saw His Broken Phone Down
There ]
[ In Pieces On The Ground ]
[ He Couldn’t Call Out For Help ]
[ Because There Was Nobody Even Around ]
[ He Thought That Surely Mrs. Dumpty Will Throw A Fit ]
[ & Instead Of Empathy ]
[ All She Will Do Is Give Him Shit ]
[ She Would Say ( OH, THAT FIGURES, THAT REALLY SUCKS ) ]
[ Humpty Knew In His Heart ]
[ That Mrs. Dumpty, Thinks Humpty Only Has
Bad Luck ]
[ So He Pulled His Tequila Bottle Out Of The Back
Pocket Of His Pants ]
[ He Took Four Swallows ]
[ & Then Began To Dance ]
[ When He Felt Like The Air Was Thinning ]
[ The Scenery All Around Him Started Spinning ]
[ He Started Feeling Queasy In His Gut ]
[ Then He Felt Immense Pressure In His Butt ]
[ He Didn’t Even Have Time To Ask ( WHAT? ) ]!
[ Then Without Hesitating ]
[ His Body Began To Be A Big Blob With 2 Exits ]
[ With No Waiting ]
[ The Mess That He Was Making ]
[ Was All Because Of The Pills He Was Taking ]
[ So He Definitely Was Not Faking ]
[ The Moans & Groans That Was Coming Out Of
His Mouth ]
[ & The Mess That He Was Making Was Moving Down South ]
[ On The Sides, Front & Back Of The Slippery Wall That
He Was Standing On ]
[ Then All Of A Sudden His Balance Was Gone ]
[ Off The Wall Humpty Fell ]
[ He Was Scared ]
[ He Was So Weak,, He Could Not Even Yell ]
[ He Looked @ The Oncoming Ground & He Knew This
Was Going To Hurt Really Bad ]
[ & That Made Him Sad ]
[ So He Decided To Tuck His Legs ]
[ That Made Him Land Upright Without Any Damage ]
[ Because Humpty-Dumpty Forgot That He Was A
Hard Boiled Egg ]
