Humpty Dumb-t ?

Humpty Dumbty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumbty had a great fall

All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldent put humpty dumpty together again

It is generally accepted that humpty was some sort of egg like creature. My first question is what was an egg doing on the wall? My second question is why were horses trying to together an egg? No one thought to call the plastic sergon, no lets get knights and horses to put together the fat egg man. How about,
"all the kings doctors and all their RN's couldent put him together again"
Those big horse hooves probably did more damage than good. Its to bad humpty wasn't hard boiled, but they atleast could have made a humpty omlet. I hear horses are great at making omlets. Oh, I'm sorry no their not, there horses! They eat hay and say nay and run in fields all day.

Some things in life are a mystery, nursery rymes shoulden't be one of them.
