Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty

stood near a wall,

they wished they could

climb that wall.

Humpty was thin

and he was tall,

when he jumped

he crossed the wall.

 Dumpty was fat

but he was not tall,

when he jumped

he bounced like ball.

 They tried and tried

and tried again,

 but their jumps

were all  in vain.

Their folks were there

all near the wall,

 they had come

to see them fall.

Folks clapped

and clapped again,

 they pushed them to

try once again.

Humpty Dumpty

looked at the wall,

but they knew

it was a difficult call.

 Folks were sorry

sad and glum,

they had gathered

to have some fun.

Humpty Dumpty

didn’t fall,

 for they couldn’t

climb the wall.
