For you may be the next to die,
They put you in a big black box,
Then cover you up with dirt and rocks,
All goes well for about a week,
Then your coffin begins to leak,
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play Pinochle on your snout,
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes,
Your eyes fall out, and your teeth decay,
A rotten end to a lovely day.

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.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary the term "humpty dumpty" referred to a drink of brandy boiled with ale in the seventeenth century.[1] The riddle probably exploited (another theory was that H.D. was a riddle), for misdirection, the fact that "humpty dumpty" was also eighteenth-century reduplicative slang for a short and clumsy person.[8] The riddle may depend on the assumption that, whereas a clumsy person falling off a wall might not be irreparably damaged, an egg would be. The rhyme is no longer posed as a riddle, since the answer is now so well known. Similar riddles have been recorded by folklorists in other languages, such as "Boule Boule" in French, "Lille Trille" in Swedish and Norwegian and "Runtzelken-Puntzelken" or "Humpelken-Pumpelken" in different parts of Germany; although none is as widely known as Humpty Dumpty is in English.[1]
The rhyme does not explicitly state that the subject is an egg, possibly because it may have been originally posed as a riddle.[1] There are also various theories of an original "Humpty Dumpty". One, advanced by Katherine Elwes Thomas in 1930[9] and adopted by Robert Ripley,[1] posits that Humpty Dumpty is King Richard III of England, depicted in Tudor histories, and particularly in Shakespeare's play, as humpbacked and who was defeated, despite his armies at Bosworth Field in 1485. However, the term humpback was not recorded until the eighteenth century, and no direct evidence linking the rhyme with the historical figure has been advanced.[10]
