Humpty Dumpty is Not an Egg

Who says Humpty Dumpty is an egg? It is a misconception that he is this white oval shaped surrounded by layers of membrane and an outer casing. First of all, how could an egg sit on a wall? Second of everything, if he is a chicken egg, why would a chicken sit on a wall? If he is a turtle egg, I bet Mutant Ninja Turtles would rather eat pizza? If he is a snake egg, probably he will just be confined in one of the test tubes in Orochimaru’s laboratory.

Humpty Dumpty is actually the Witch’s Mirror in Snow White.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall..
Because he says Snow White is the fairest of them all!

HD is a cannon used in the Siege of Colchester

In Sixteen Hundred and Forty-Eight
When England suffered the pains of state
The Roundheads lay siege to Colchester town
Where the king’s men still fought for the crown
There One-Eyed Thompson stood on the wall
A gunner of deadliest aim of all
From St. Mary’s Tower his cannon he fired
Humpty-Dumpty
was its name
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall…

HD is also a heart according to Travis

All of the king’s horses and all of the king’s men
Couldn’t pull my heart back together again.

HD is also a king, and Wall is the name of the horse

The king chose a horse named Wall,
The king sat on this horse all along
Then he had a great fall crushing his skull.

HD symbolizes divorce

And all the king’s horses
And all the king’s men
Couldn’t put mommy and daddy back together again

humpty dumpty crackedThat’s it. Do not be fooled that Humpfy is an egg. And do not be fooled that Dumpfy is his surname. They always give riddles to kids for when they grow up, they have to search those answers. Ow, what a nursery rhyme!

It is just so sad that Humpty Dumpty could be put together never again.

OT: Happy Dad’s Day everyone. Dad told me, Humpty Dumpty is me. ‘How come?’ I said. He replied, ‘because you speak to walls.’

    tama, ngayon ko naiintindihan yung frustration kong makabuo ng puzzle. ang paggupit ng ibang pieces para lang ipilit na buuin ‘to.

    HUMPTY DUMPTY IS a junk food.
    its been ages or years, my favorite humptydumpty labeled with orange crispiness,
    but the smell of a bad something’s aroma.
    this snack never seems to fail
    to tickle my senses. my freedom to munch and munch
    that i may hear-
    eggshells cracking from the fall of an outside wall.

    so, si humpty dumpty ay isang chichirya.

  4. deejay says:

    deliciously random. (read: adik) LOLs :P

  5. Hmmm… Nabasa mo na ba ang ‘Tis ni Frank McCourt?

    There was also an analysis like this when he posed the question to his students as to what part of the rhyme does it say that HD is an egg.

    Happy Fathers’ Day to your dad Ax…

  6. bluguy says:

    Ahaha! very nice try Ax! peru mali ka sa lahat ng hula mo.

    i had an inahing itik before. at may dalwang sisiw sya na tinawag kung humpty at dumpty kasi nangitlog yung inahin sa ibabaw ng hollow block na pader! yung itik kasi unlike manok kung saan saan nangingitlog kaya ayun nakita ko yung dalawang itlog ng inahing itik dun sa ibabaw ng pader. Nung maging sisiw na sila, pinangalanan ko silang si Humpty at Dumpty. ayun! Yan ang alamat ni Humpty at Dumpty! LOL :D

    • Ax says:

      ah, yun pala yun! sila pala yun. medyo matagal ko din na hinahap kung sino sila humpty at dumpty! hehe. at ayos ang pagkakapangalan mo sa kanila. hm, nakakatuwa yung kwento!
