Humpty Dumpty

The history (or herstory) of Humpty Dumpty is uncertain. (Many versions are listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty ) I do agree that the lesson for children is that some changes are irreversible. (Here is an adult comedy with profanity that addresses Humpty Dumpty's fate http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2007/ricky-gervais-humpty-dumpty-p1.php)

So here is the original Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme or lyrics:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

And here are the original lyrics my son wrote last summer (at aged 10):

Humpty Dumpty worked in a Mall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the Mall's lawyers and all the Mall's men
Had egg for breakfast again and again.

Now the new moral is the big establishments will eat you up!

Another of my favorite knock-knock jokes is the following:

1st person: Knock-knock.
2nd person: Who's there?
1st person: A knee.
2nd person: A knee?
1st person: I need you!
