Nursery Crimes...The Truth Behind The Rhymes

COLDCASE TOYTOWN

THIS WEEK'S EPISODE

HUMPTY DUMPTY - WHEN GOOD EGGS GO....er.... MAD!




Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Exuberant as ever and having a ball
Crowing to all what a difference it made
Bragging that he had been recently laid




Then, experts would have us believe, he just fell
And expired by accident-WHAT? Did he hell
If you will allow me I'd like to explain
Explode this old myth and perspective regain
The truth is in that which Humpty exclaimed
Therein lies the answer to how he was maimed

Exactly what happened, if I might make so bold
Is that, on hearing love's virtues, by Humpty extolled
Chicken Little was anxious his claims to explore
To expose the 'love interest' as some kind of whore
So she wandered afar and she wandered anear
And came back with a truth that was shattering to hear



Humpty didn't expect - it was hard to believe
It was cracking him up and he needed to leave
By means expeditious - scrambled to his feet
His world had exploded, he was feeling the heat
Extremely upset by the news that he'd heard
He thought he could fly so he made like a bird





In true tragic style his own end he found
As he failed to take off and experienced the ground



And as for the king's men, they were soldiers you see
They went straight for the yolk, and the rest's history



But they weren't the culprits in Humpty's demise
No, Humpty was killed by a Chicken's surprise


So what, be exact, did the chicken uncover?
What fatal fact did she bring to her brother?
Well, imagine how you'd feel ,were you to discover
That the chick that just laid you was really your mother!

A Change is as Good.............55

It was too easy, too predictable.
Killing him wasn't punishment enough.
What did they say?

"Death's too good for him."

But punished he must be....so how?
A fate worse than death?
She ran her fingers along his prized possession.



Living with the knowledge that its loss was his fault!
Doused it.
Lit it.
Smiled.

Happy New Year......55

He cornered her at the Party...
"New Year's Resolutions? Not me! I mean, what is there to change?
I'm perfection personified, a total babe magnet! Tell the truth, you came over because you couldn't resist me," he smarmed, "So you tell me, what could I possibly give up?"

Midnight struck,




stiletto flashed,





"Breathing." she smiled
