Humpty Dumpty went to the Mall <br />tripped over Santa, had a big fall. <br />All of the reindeer and Mrs. Claus <br />dragged Humpty Dumpty into his house. <br /> <br />Doctor came running, gave him a pill <br />made him feel funny, even more ill. <br />One of the reindeer lowered his head <br />licked Humpty's earlobes, thought he was dead. <br /> <br />Humpty was turning, chalky white blue <br />Doctor raised eyebrows, what should he do? <br />Rudolph prepared for - resuscitation <br />smacked his big lips in - anticipation. <br /> <br />Rolled Humpty over, onto his back <br />started his rescue with a big smack. <br />Blew in saliva and some stale air <br />people were hushed now, Rudolph did care! <br /> <br />Can you imagine, kissing like that <br />reindeer saliva tastes like dead rat. <br />Humpty was stirring, first like a mouse <br />then like a reindeer, leaving his house. <br /> <br />Last seen devouring all the fresh snow <br />under the eyes of Northern Star glow. <br />Never succeeded, still had the taste <br />snow made him grow though, big at the waist. <br /> <br />Rudolph had followed, saw the malheur <br />grabbed Mister Dumpty, saying, 'dear Sir, <br />you will come back now, thanks just for me <br />as the world's snowman, forever free.' <br /> <br />Thus we have snowmen, giving us joy <br />looking so handsome, like a big toy. <br />Although, like Humpty, death comes too soon <br />shattering, melting, watched by the moon.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-first-snowman/
