The Egg vs. the Apple -- a Poem for the Sunday Muse

 

  Humpty Dumpty's Dream

Humpty Dumpty had a dream 
Dreamt he was an apple green 
His apple sat on a wall
His apple had a great fall 

All the King's horses and all 
the Kings men carried him well 
Carried him to urgent care 
Sewed him together again 

Humpty Dumpty thus aroused 
Dreaming still went for a walk 
Sleep walking he's at his best 
Apple still, the wall will test 

Daring like never before 
He jumped as feeling secure 
Hundreds of pieces he broke 
Egg as born he awoke 

Men and horses couldn't put 
Humpty together again

A fun take on this image, Jim. It was only a dream so I guess he's okay, right? :-)

Oh no! Dreaming apples and being eggs seems like a good metaphor. :)

Playful and fun Jim - interesting notion, taking a stab at eggs and apples - which then trips the question, which came first, the egg or the apple? LOL

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts at my piece too. Have a wonderful week.
