In The Line Of Fire

Teddy.15

 

Somebody recently told me

 

That Humpty Dumpty was a Cannon?

 

A Cannon?

 

what a bloody disappointment

 

I always thought he was an egg on the edge

pissed all day

 with a bottle of London gin in his hand

sitting on a castle wall

crying because he’ll never be King

 

and why would he ever want to be?

I think he’d look even more ridiculous

with ten-inch-wide screen ears?

 

well…

 

why else would he have fallen off the wall?

 

unless... he was pushed?

 

I’m lost for words to be honest

 

the whole revelation has just

 

well…

blown me away.

                  Yes, I hate Christmas mornings. Always have to spend them cleaning up the lounge, after some fat ***** has dropped down the chimney. Heck of a lot of soot! lol. We'll light a fire at bedtime. That'll put the wind up him! lol.
