Humpty Dumpty

"If Walt Whitman Had Written Humpty Dumpty"

O Humpty! O Humpty! You've had a fearful spill,
You've tumbled from the stoney height,
       your're lying cold and still;
Your shell is cracked, your yolk runs out,
       your breath is faint and wheezy;
You landed as a scambled egg, instead of over easy;
       The king has sent his steeds and men
             To mend you if they can;
                   I pray that they did not forget
                          To bring a frying pan.
