HUMPTY DUMPTY: THE TRUE STORY

During the English Civil War,

With Colchester Under Attack,

A Cannon Was Fired From Near St. Mary's Church

Manned By One-Eyed Jack

A Walled Town, A Castle, and Churches Within,

And Strategically Placed on a Wall

The Cannon Answered Siege With Fire,

Humpty Dumpty, the Cannon Was Called.

Through 11 Weeks of Bloody Battle

The Cannon Answered the Call,

But, the Enemy Blew the Wall to Bits

And Humpty Had a Great Fall.

Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall,

Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall,

And All the King's Horses and All the King's Men,

Couldn't Put Humpty Together Again.

So, the Royalists Lay Down Their Arms,

And the Parliamentarians Went Back to Their Farms,

'Cause All the King's Horses and All the King's Men,

Couldn't Raise the Great Cannon to Fire Again.
