When you picture Humpty-Dumpty, what does he look like?
Did you say an egg?
The Rhyme never says he's an egg. So is he?
Turns out he's not. The theories are either he's a cannon,, a 15th century king who was chopped into pieces during a war, or an obese clumsy man.
Apparently there is also a conspiracy saying Humpty was pushed off the wall! gasp! By, (I kid you not) Jack and Jill or the cow that jumped over the moon.
I always knew they were evil. Poor Humpty.
Well, Jack and Jill were rather clumsy, so they could have accidentally bumped him off the wall, but I'm not sure about the cow. He seems rather innocent to me, I mean, he's kind of like Odie, you know, "I'm so happy, so happy, I feel like jumping" as he jumps clear the heck over the moon. However, to continue with that rhyme, the little dog was making fun of the cow, and could have had a mean streak, thereby, giving Humpty a push, but the real untrusty villain in that rhyme is the dish. Remember, he ran away with the spoon. The spoon just happened to be married to the fork (little known fact, but very true). I also know that Humpty was quite vocal in his contempt for the dish's actions, and may have provoked the dish into pushing him off the wall to silence his outspoken criticism. No one likes to be criticized. So there you have my theory, it was the dish. Of course it was never proven, but the dish is the logical suspect.
