As you may already be aware, the funeral of the beloved court jester, Humpty Dumpty,
was held in the kings quarters late yesterday afternoon.
"When we discovered Humpty in peices near the castle wall, we thought perhaps he had broken
himself while preparing one of his amazing new tricks for the King" Reported Aurthur Kingsmen.
Indeed he did have a new trick for the King. One no one would have expected.
During the Luncheon after the funeral, a Kingsmen caught Humpty Dumpty sneaking out a side door with a crown jewel on each theiving finger.
When interviewed entering the squad car, Dumpty refused to revel his secret. "I am a magician after all."
It turns out Dumpty is wanted in 5 other kingdoms.
Unfortunately, we havent seen the end of this manipulative magician. Once booked and imprisoned, Humpty Dumpty just fell to peices once again and slid through the prison bars.
So if you havent encountered him yet- beware the charming egg jester.

Humpty Dumpty just fell to pieces once again and slid through the prison bars
Ok, that was my favorite part!
Yes, he must be a magician if he can do what all the Kings horse and all the Kings men (not to mention his physicians) could not do!
I love humor.

Ha! Lmao! Very funny, well played... a very good take

I can tell this poem is personal to you. You must have landed on your head many times. Hehe. Actually I thought this was funny and creative.

A creative piece of writing you have here! It reminded me of when I ran the Mother Goose contest. If I didn't have one running right now, I'd consider starting a Mother Goose II just for fun. I liked the way you handled the "Kingsmen" piece of the rhyme. Well done!

And here I was always believing he jumped from the wall. Silly me, I'm glad I know the truth now. ---- Thank you Sarah.

in light of all that has come our way in the last few days, this poem was a welcome relief! Thank you very much for sharing it. You have brought many smiles! peace and light, Kendal

This was great to read. The humor was excellent and who would have thought about Humpty Dumpty being a thief. Very original. Well done and best of luck for the contest.

Haha I love "theiving fingers". That was clever. It's a very unique thought, not cliché like a million other poems I've read today in my attempt to start getting some feedback and get started on this site. I really enjoyed it. The only part I didn't really get was the part about the loyalty clothes, which you explained in your note, but maybe it would be better to elaborate a bit in the actual poem. Really delightful!

Very good write. Nice job on this poem. Very cool and funny. Good luck in the contest.
-
yeay! I love this newscast style, it's so realistic, supporting the fantastic. bravo
-
hehehe, yeah well done, although I"m still alittle unsure on the loyalty clothes bit, turning this fairytale around to make that o so innocent egg the bad one, brilliant, liked the newspaper article style too, a joy and smile to see something different, for it"s been a while in monotony, and so thanks with bacon and fried tomato. -jas

Kudos!
Wish we had more news like this on the tube! Funny and well penned. When he 'escaped' after the funeral, I was quite confused. When he skipped jail, I finally got it
Very good twist on a beloved charachter, I think I like this better that the original
