"What Does "Humpty Dumpty" Have To Do With It?"

HUMPTY DUMPTY THE WHOLE STORY!

HUMPTY DUMPTY WAS JUST LIKE YOU AND ME,
FULL OF ENERGY AND CREATIVITY!
HE TALK TO HIS FAMILY,

FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS AND ALL,
AND SAID,

"IF YOU WILL HELP ME,
I’LL CLIMB UP ON THAT WALL.
FROM UP THERE FOR MILES I’LL BE ABLE TO SEE,
AND WHEN KINGS PASS BY THEY WILL MARVEL AT ME!
THEY WILL GIVE ME SILVER, GOLD, DIAMONDS, AND PEARLS;
AND WE WILL BE THE RICHEST EGG KINGDOM,
IN ALL THE WORLD."

SO THEY HELPED HUMPTY AND ALL HE SAID CAME TRUE,
AS KINGS PASSED BY THEY GAVE HIM HIS JUST DUE.
THEY GAVE HIM DIAMONDS, PEARLS, SILVER AND GOLD,
AND THRU-OUT ALL THE WORLD HUMPTY’S FAME WAS TOLD.
BUT HUMPTY HAD FORGOTTEN ALL HE HAD SAID,
HIS FAME AND FORTUNE WENT STRAIGHT TO HIS HEAD,
INSTEAD OF GIVING BACK TO THOSE THAT HELPPED HIM SUCCEED,
HE JUST SAT ON THE WALL FULL OF PRIDE AND GREED.

HE ADONED HIMSELF WITH THE SILVER AND THE GOLD,
HE HAD RINGS ON HIS FINGERS AND PEARLS ON HIS TOES,
HE LOOKED DOWN ON HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS AND ALL,
EVEN THO WITHOUT THEM HE WOULD NOT BE ON THE WALL.
THEN ONE BY ONE THEY BEGAN TO LET GO,
AS HUMPTY BEGAN TO SWAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE,
FOR WITHOUT ANYONE THERE TO KEEP HIM BALANCED ON THE WALL,
HUMPTY DUMPTY BEGAN TO FALL, FALL, FALL.

THEN OFF CAME THE DIAMONDS, THE SILVER, THE GOLD AND THE PEARLS,
NO MORE FAME AND FORTUNE, NO MORE TOP OF THE WORLD ,
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN;
PASS ALL OF HIS USE TO BE FRIENDS,
HUMPTY DUMPTY WAS NEARING THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A BIG LOUD SOUND,
AS HUMPTY DUMPTY HIT THE GROUND.
CRACKED, HURT, BARELY ALIVE,
BUT MOSTLY HURT WAS HUMPTY’S PRIDE.
FOR HE MOANED AND GROANED,

"SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!"
BUT FOR HUMPTY DUMPTY, THERE WAS NO MORE SIMPATHY.

AS THE KINGS PASSED BY THEY SAW HUMPTY LAYING ON HIS BACK ,
WITH HIS LIFE RIUNNING OUT OF THE BIG HUGE CRACK,
HE PROMISED TO HAVE HIS HORSES AND MEN RETURN,
TO TRY TO PUT HUMPTY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
BUT NOONE CAME BACK TO GIVE HUMPTY A HAND,

FOR HUMPTY DUMPTY WAS JUST ANOTHER HAS BEEN.

SO THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS VERY SIMPLE YOU SEE,
IT’S BEEN THAT WAY FOR CENTURIES!
NOONE ACCOMPLISHES ANYTHING BY ONES-SELF,
IT ALWAYS TAKES THE HELP OF SOMEONE ELSE.

SO DON’T BE LIKE HUMPTY DUMPTY,
WHEN YOU REACH THE TOP OF YOUR WALL...

FOR REMEMBER,

THE FURTHER YOU GO UP,

THE FURTHER YOU MUST FALL!
