Humpty Dumpty balanced on a wall.....?

I agree - Humpty was pushed.

LOL swansont!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Obviously a conspiracy: they mention the king's horses and men so they won't be blamed later on (cause they "tried" to help him). Please note they are on behalf of the king, a government figure. Humpty probably knew the true situation of the egg and the equinox, was trying to inform the public by doing it on a non-equinox day (on the wall where everyone could see him), and was silenced by the king on behalf of the royal printing press which needed filler on equinox days.
I mean, isn't it OBVIOUS?!?!? 8-[

Had scrambled eggs for breakfast again.

Yep, looks like a conspiracy.

Perhaps if the King's men had got in before the horses, he might have stood a chance.

If they had the blueprints for Humpty they would have been able to reassemble him. Obviously they never had the plans and therefore could not have built Humpty in the first place. The whole Wall-Placement and Fall was a Hoax, put out by the HBers (Humpty Believers).


Sorry, that was just a yoke. [-X

Man why did i have to pick a name so close to his?

Humphrey: are you implying you're really Humpty's evil twin that threw him off the wall? You know, cause he was interfering with the whole world domination thing? It makes perfect sense, mind, but I'm kinda worried it took the rest of us so long to figure it out...

Oh man, this just BEGS to be said...

From Andromeda321's Book of Evil Twin Nursery Rhymes:
Humphrey Dumphrey sat on a wall
Shouting and chanting "I rule all!"
He did not notice amidst shards below
NASAFan was preparing a shattering blow...

=D> =D> Well done.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
His spring and summer weren't too bad,
But winter was coolest of all.

ROFL!
I liked that one alot. :-)

...But alas the blow never came
She ranted and raved
And her hair got frayed
Her minions got lost
And her plans tossed

Many years later they tell the story
Of a rebelious old lady
And a ruler triumphant
The bad plan she had
Failed prety bad
And once again Humphrey came out on top again

I never said i was a poet. Actually i dislike poetry alot. But i cannot leave that one hanging. :-)

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humphery Dumphery got in a brawl
Meanwhile here sits Zamboni
Wondering what all this has to do with friggin' astronomy!

Andromeda321, that was a great one that you wrote. Humphrey, I agree that you do need rhyming lessons--though it is better than what I can do.

Andromeda321 will you write a reply that will put him in his proper place. Please--pretty please.

Hmmmm... you guys are lucky, I just got an idea! Not the greatest poem but I think some of you might enjoy it... Think "The Walrus and the Carpenter" for this one.

Humphrey and NASA Fan
Were walking side by side
Trying to figure out which one overall
Had been, by far, most snide:
NASA Fan had done her share
Though Humphrey sure has tried!

"The time has come," Humphrey said,
"To discuss many things!
Of stars, of suns, of HBers
Of Mars, of Saturn's rings!
And who will rule the universe
And be emperor of kings!"

"Not you, not you," NASA Fan said
Her head held very high,
"You're just filled with empty charm
And fake promises to the sky
You cannot rule," she told him
With a bright glimmer in her eye.

"I can! I will!" Humphrey cired
Not believing what he'd heard,
"You lie straight through your teeth
You lie with every word!
Having you lead anything
Is, quite frankly, absurd!"

NASA Fan wouldn't let it pass
But before her speech was said
She got an increadible idea
In her calculating head.
It would surely make her triumphant
And all of Humphrey's efforts dead!

"Humphrey, I have an idea
On how to stop the feud today
We will go to a wise man
And ask him of his say
As to which one of us should rule-
Yes, let's go ask the BA!"

Humphrey agreed so they set out
Along a long and twisting road
Amidst trecherous wood and den
And fields with wheat sowed
To finally reach a faraway land
Where it was said it rarely snowed.

They found the BA and laid out their case
For him to clearly see
Would he prefer Humphrey or NASA Fan
To rule the world with treachery?
The wise old BA heard them out both
And made a conclusion easily.

"Humphrey, I can not say
I prefer your plans more
For they are filled with misery
And a great deal of war.
And how could we all stargaze
While you tried to settle the score?"

"No!" cried Humphrey with dispair
Feeling that he'd been done in.
(He couldn't look at NASA Fan
Whose face was covered with a grin.)
How could he go back to BABB
Conceding NASA Fan the win?

"Then I've won?" NASA Fan cried
But the BA shook his head.
"I cannot endorse you either
For the plan that you have said.
For HBers would thrive happily
In the turmoil you'd spread."

"Now go," the astronomer said
And their audience was done.
With heavy hearts they set off home
In the light of the setting sun.
They walked in silence because trading insults
No longer seemed much fun.

Humphrey thought of his plans
Which it seemed he would have to drop.
Then suddenly he spun around to face NASA Fan
As quick as a spinning top.
"Just because he chose no side
Did the BA say our feud must stop?"

So Humphrey and NASA Fan
Still feud to this very day
Trying to convince other BABBers
To see the world their way.
It's a battle many think
Has an outcome very grey.

This poem surely has a moral
But I cannot think of one
So pick a side in the feud
Start posting, and have fun!
Have a nice day, and of course
Clear skies to everyone!

Moral of the story? Bad Astronomy can be dangerous as it is the leading cause of senseless poetry in the form of internet bandwidth, congesting other more productive, valuable topics such as "bad astronomy in harry potter"...

*scuttles away quickly*

dude...way...wrong...answer! #-o

Ummm...moral of the story? I think it was a poem. You might want to check on the difference.

Have a great day!!!

I'm waiting for your poem...

Now onto my rightfull rule as leader of the world.

Free Chocolate covered post-it notes to all true believers of my rule!!!

Hey, KB3GIO, a poem can tell a story. What do you think Beowulf is? An epic poem that tells a story.

Not to mention the Iliad, which someone made a movie out of not that long ago.
