let them eat scrambled eggs

after Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall
the king had a problem
he had to address

the wall was in disrepair
and that is why
dear Humpty Dumpty fell

all the kings men
warned him
that the people loved Humpty Dumpty

the king did not want
the people to blame him
even though he knew of the problem

what to do
how do you make the people
eat your mistake

the wisest of the kings advisors
sent for cooks across the land
to come immediately

they all cooked scrambled eggs
and invited the people
to the first scrambled egg festival

THE KING INVITES HIS SUBJECTS
TO PARTAKE OF SCRAMBLED EGGS
PREPARED BY THE FINEST CHIEFS IN THE LAND

and the people came
and ate their fill
and no one remembered Humpty Dumpty.
