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!!!!

Thanks Frederick, you must have gone to my first postings to find this !

Indeed. For good reason. I believe that past poetry is valid and 'living' still. So that is both an honour and respect thing. It also gives a fuller picture of the author. So I am reading for now, like a crab pincer -one in the present and the other in the past. If that makes anymore sense.

What a waste, indeed. He was such a well-rounded bloke. This was enjoyed thoroughly, and certainly up my alley of reading preferences. Well, at least one of them. Re-imagined 'classics' and staples are always invigorating to interact with through a contemporary look-back. Thanks for sharing. Frederick.

[Gee]

Again thank you :)

The first poem I ever wrote was in second grade, a Humpty Dumpty remake, not as edgy as this one of course. But it's always nice to go to the well of collective subconscious.
All the kings men and even the Pope (don't mention the horses) couldn't hope to get high after Humpty did his bumpty so let's grab a rope for that dope stealing dope.

[Gee]

You dug deep to find this one :))
As daft as me
Thank you

The inquest'
Gee,
This would be funny if not for all who are addicts and pass away from our midst at an alarming rate. We may think:'well it is their own doing but still it is a great tragedy. How many in bondage and addiction need help but do not get it? Just the questions that this poem brought on. You did a good thing here.. at least for me as this big world keeps spinning with many spinning out of control.
Blessings,
Kathy
