Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again...
Perhaps unsurprisingly as horses aren't the best equipped to deal with precision puzzles what with hooves and all...no I imagine the horses were altogether more interested by the grass sprouting from the base of the wall. Bit unreasonable to expect that sort of thing from genus Equidae really. It was exactly that sort of decision making that regrettably characterised this particular kings rule; leading to spiralling social inequality, the dissolution of all horse-led businesses and ultimately their relegation to beasts of burden. This spectacular fall from grace is known by horses worldwide as D-day or Dumpty-day.
