Broken Egg

Take Two: Given a second chance, how would this be different? Rewrite the ending to a book, movie, scene, fable, quote, etc.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall...
Rewrite the nursery rhyme with a new ending.

We Have A Winner!!! 02/01/10
Humpty Dumpty had sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had had a great fall
His friends all laughed and pointed with glee
It's seems ol' Humpty was a jerk, you see

He was always a show off and better than all
Which is exactly what prompted his climb up the wall
Doing a dance and showing his ass
He really did think he was top of the class

But kharma's a bitch and just a bit fickle
It's seems our friend Humpty found himself in a pickle
He teetered and tottered and and bobbled and fell
And he became breakfast for the Farmer in the Dell
Winner: Rabbit (@redheaddancing)
Reason: In other words, pride goeth before a fall?

  1. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
    Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
    Into cooked cereal Humpty did fall

    All the Kings men and All the Kings horses
    Had been in physics courses
    Learn about gravitational forces

    Through many an experiment
    They worked to stop the plummet
    Oatmeal it seemed was the instrument

    Humpty went home that night
    Now aware of his plight
    Walls for eggs were not right

  2. Mrs. Dumpty let him lay there in his own mess until the King's men found him. See if he ever comes home with lipstick on his shell again.

  3. Humpty Dumpty Sat on the Wall
    Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall
    All the Kings Horses and All the Kings Men
    Had tried to warn Humpty not to do this again
    They had bought him a helmet to wear on his head
    But to proud to use it, he was now good and dead
    So they pulled out the spatula and lit a fire beneath the pan
    And soon Humpty was the most delicious omlette in the entire land

  5. Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
    Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
    and my oh my it surely was a great fall!

    Humpty Dumpty just couldn't help it
    all the day long, he would just sit and sit and sit
    for the dorky writers to get inspired for a children's lit

    oh, but, only in the end
    how more could they offend
    when all they could come up with
    is a dumb song about eggshells broken in bits

  6. He came to land
    In my open hand,
    So Humpty didn't get damaged at all.

    Licking lips with a grin,
    All the king's men
    Made a big omelet for all.

    He realized too late the error he made
    leaving the bungee cord with the cavalcade.
