Humpty Dumpty:The Inquest

The shocking truth behind Humptys demise.

After numerous tests and to manies disdain
it was found that Humpty had taken cocaine,
which led to his seizure and subsequent fall
from his favourite perch high up on the wall.
So the coroner declared, with a sigh, a sad breath,
that Humptys demise was "Eggcidental Death"
NOW.........
People may laugh and they may even joke,
but with so many starving, what a waste of a yolk!!!!

Your titles are the best! You should teach a class here on how to whip out a title that'll pique the curiosity of every reader to click! And of course, I love your cornball humor, maybe of a different era and not appreciated by the hoity-toities of poem-writing notoriety in these modern times *wink! wink!* You knew I would love your rhyming & invented words. Here in the USA, eggs get more & more expensive becuz we tree-huggers demand that the hens get more space than a tiny cage for life (free-range eggs . . . there must be a poem in that somewhere!?!?!) Your imagination sends mine out to orbit (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Gee]

Thanks Margie, glad you are now at full throttle.
Hope you are well

You call this poetry? So much for judging other's lives through their works.

[Gee]

No, attach labels only because the site requires it.
Didn't realise you were so narked, would never purposely do that to you or anyone else, so I, belatedly, apologise to both you and Sarah......sorry.
Thanks for commenting.

It truly is a travesty Gee, that the king wasn't brought to justice for poor HD's demise. Who the hell sends horses to mend an egg? What where they gonna do with no opposable thumbs? What a twat!
Nicely done. Always good to have a little chuckle of a morn.

[Gee]

Hi Lorry, cheers. Might have been my first ever posting on writerscafe, hmm.
Hope you are well.

[Kelly Scheppers]

So, so clever!! Love this, Gordon. The "eggcidental death" was "off the wall"! ; )

Hope you are well.
