Humpty Dumpty

A new version of Humpty Dumpty  (a famous chidren’s nursery rhyme – click on Read More for the original)

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
He didn’t get bruised,
He didn’t get bumped,
Humpty Dumpty bungee jumped!

 

Humpty Dumpty is a character in a Mother Goose rhyme, portrayed as an egg. Most English-speaking children are familiar with the rhyme:

Humpty Dumpty 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.

Like most nursery rhymes Humpty Dumpty has hidden meaning. Many people believe that it referred to King Richard III of England, the “Wall” being the horse he fell off.
