Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Humpty Dumpty was a great mess
Humpty Dumpty had to confess.
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty on the path Zen.

Humpty Dumpty assessed that old wall.
Humpty Dumpty made a phone call.
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Moved to make way for Queen's counselors ten.

Humpty Dumpty had therapy.
Humpty Dumpty soon came to see
A perch way up high for an egg such as he
Was a definite lack of humility.

Humpty with his newfound insight
Did begin to eschew the high heights.
Supporting his weight on the ground, on his feet,
Would prevent him from being the King's omelette treat.

Humpty Dumpty sat in a dish.
Humpty Dumpty now had one wish.
"I will remain within safe boundaries
To maintain my health and integrity."

The Queen's counselors smiled...
