Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall….

Humpty Dumpty’s Warning Song (A preachy cautionary tale)

Pieces of the heavens lost
Shattered like ice on the ground
Desperate men struggled on
To put back all they had found

I sat upon a great stone arch.
Surveying all of the land
From the heights I could surmise
The truth of the great and the grand

You who are on the walls beware
You who are on the walls beware

Beyond the kingdom I wander on
Parts of me scattered like seeds
Among the rubble, set aside
For the thistle and weeds

Because Alas I met an end
Bitterly down to the ground
In spite of help of every friend
who rode from the outskirts of town

You who are on the walls beware
You who are on the walls beware

If you recall the face I had
If you remember at all
Put me back in the great and grand
Put me back on the wall

but If you chance to hatch a plan
To climb and never to fall
I hope you find a place stand
that is ever steady and tall

You who are on the walls beware
You who are on the walls beware

P.s. I love that guitar riff after the chorus. An ear worm of the best kind!
