Humpty Dumpty Revised

I remember reading this nursery rhyme when I was a little tot. I found it depressing and it haunted me so I decided to rewrite it. You can always change the ending to your story.

Humpty 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

So they called in the experts

For a second opinion

They arrived from Jupiter

A spaceship of minions

They did an assessment

It didn’t take long

To find the King’s men

Were all doing it wrong

The minions went to work

Restoring broken parts

Administering faith and love

In everyone’s hearts

The king’s horses stood by

Alongside their master

Thinking their beliefs

Were a storybook disaster

Humpty Dumpty took a risk

He flew under the radar

He knew playing it safe

Never got him that far

He just needed the souls

Who were not of this realm

To know all things are possible

When love takes the helm

There is always hope

There is always a minion

Don’t rely too much

On another’s opinion

Humpy Dumpty is now thriving

In the land of milk and honey

You can always edit your story

Love is richer than money!
