Humpty Dumpty is usually depicted as an egg at no point is that ever mentioned in the poem.


Lots of creative liberties seem to have been taken in Humpty's name

One horse didn't give a shite. But he said he cared to fit in with the cool horses.

Was he an egg though? Never once in the poem is it mentioned that he is an egg.


Am I serious though? Not once did I imagine this thread would become purposeful discussion.

Why did the king send every single man and horse at his disposal to try and put humpty together again?


And what good would horses be trying to put a broken egg back together anyway? They don't even have hands!

its a story for kids.

from England.

The English are so into the royals that their children understand that if the royals could not get it done, it was impossible.

Because they were under the command of the King, and the King obviously a giant egg was top priority.


Trumpty Dumpty built a Great Wall,
Trumpty Dumpty waited 'til fall,
And all of Trumps soldiers and INS men,
Send home all illegal Mexicans.

The Trumpty Dance

[verse 1]
All right,
Stop what ya done,
'Cause I'm about to run,
I ain't the image or the style that you're used to,
I look funny,
But yo I make the money, see,
So yo world I hope you're ready for me,
So gather round,
I'm the new dude in town,
News says I'm a clown but I won't back down,
And I don't need your accolades I got my own on my shelf,
So let me just introduce myself,
My name is Trump see, pronounced with the Ump see,
All you others, you know I'm gonna trump thee,
All these pretenders in the top 10- allow me to bump thee,
I'm walking tall, y'all,
I get up on the stump, see,
You're gonna fall, when the primaries pump me,
I don't want crime,
Don't want the border all junky,
Trade sunk, see, want it to climb like a monkey,
I'm sick of this, Bring America Back,
You may think it's ridiculous,
But if you vote for me yeah we can get through this,
Hey Yo Rosie, you're bitter like licorice,
Yeah, I called you fat,
Look at me I'm winning,
And you know this is just beginning,
On a streak,
Pow, right to the moon,
Make America Great, if you put me in the Boardroom,
They say it's crazy,
Allow me to amaze thee,
"Unelectable" what? You know it just don't faze me,
I'm still winning on a "slim chance",
I even got my own dance,

[chorus]
See Trump's your man, here's your chance, vote for Trump,
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, come on and Vote for Trump, D. Trump
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, just watch me vote for Trump, D. Trump,
Do ya know what I'm doin' votin' Trump, D. Trump,
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, vote for Trump, D. Trump

[verse 2]

Pundits say "Yo Trump see, you're really funny lookin'"
That's all right 'cause the debate's cookin',
You sneer, you smear, you make fun of my hair see,
But no one else is near me,
I'll get us more see, behind closed doors see,
Bring jobs back to our shores see,
And yes people, I'm really being sincere,
'Cause once we Make America Great Again the jobs come back here,
My wallet's deep, but no I'm not ashamed,
'Cause when I called my favors in the politicians they came,
I get paid by my properties, yeah I'm in charge,
And my losses are small my profit margin's large,
But they're predicable, and quite despicable,
Use a word that don't mean nothin' unelectable,
I'm gonna do what I like, and when they diss it,
I'm the only one who'll say "you see my butt, well you can kiss it."
Also said that I'm gonna build a wall,
Well, yeah, I guess it's clear that I'm the only one with balls,
And all ya gotta do is give Trump D. a chance,
And now I'm gonna do my dance,

[chorus]
See Trump's your man, here's your chance, vote for Trump,
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, come on and Vote for Trump, D. Trump
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, just watch me vote for Trump, D. Trump,
Do ya know what I'm doin' votin' Trump, D. Trump,
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, vote for Trump, D. Trump

[breakdown]
Oh Trump's, got what it takes y'all,
Let's Make America Great Again right here,
Oh yeah,
Now that you know a little bit about the Don,
Let me tell you a little bit about this chance,
It ain't easy to do--but hear me out,

[verse 3]
You know things just ain't right and the system is broken,
Politicians going back on words that they've spoken,
Global Trade in the dumps see,
People say "we need someone to get us on Track" Trump, D.
Vote for Trump and he'll get us in motion,
Shake things up and cause a little commotion,
Not just anyone can play for real,
But this is his game y'all, Trump wrote "The Art of the Deal",
And when it's down to two people, the ballots are sealed,
He'll bring us round, get the U.S. on even keel,
Get Trump in, get the economy jumpin'
Won't let us down, votin' for Trump,
And when some PC lil' chump tries to get on your rump,
Tell 'em step off, I'm votin' for Trump,

[chorus]
See Trump's your man, here's your chance, vote for Trump,
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, come on and Vote for Trump, D. Trump
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, just watch me vote for Trump, D. Trump,
Do ya know what I'm doin' votin' Trump, D. Trump,
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, vote for Trump, D. Trump

Black people vote for Trump, vote for Trump, D. Trump,
White People vote for Trump, vote for Trump, D. Trump,
Hispanics, vote for Trump, vote for Trump, D. Trump,
Everybody vote for Trump, vote for Trump, D. Trump.

Get the Votes in!

[chorus]
See Trump's your man, here's your chance, vote for Trump,
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, come on and Vote for Trump, D. Trump
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, just watch me vote for Trump, D. Trump,
Do ya know what I'm doin' votin' Trump, D. Trump,
Vote for Trump, D. Trump, vote for Trump, D. Trump

Yeah, come on, take 'em down,

I think seems like it was referencing Richard III being killed in battle. Falling off his horse and such. I could be wrong, but I thought I learned that somewhere

Dude, he was a sentient, talking egg... I'd imagine he was a pretty big deal.


The story never says anything about him being an egg.

The TurboTax commercial where he wants to sue over the humpty dance just came on my TV.

I can confirm he is an egg, he can talk, and he has indeed been put back together again.
