They made furniture out of Humpty Dumpty’s “corpse”.
Horses generally don’t use furniture.
The Xs from the eyes on the sconce are a nice touch.
Just my kind of dark humor. (Sorry, Humpty!)
Out enjoying their egg-infused oats.
And whoever thought horses could help reassembling a broken egg anyway?
(yes I know the original Humpty Dumpty didn’t refer to an egg…)
“egg-infused oats”
Every other Saturday, I have savory oatmeal with a runny fried egg on top. So I approve of this concept. Alternate Saturdays is a runny fried egg on toasted English muffin.
The horses are parked outside.
If Humpty Dumpty wasn’t originally an egg, what was he originally?
Of course, one web page quotes Abe Lincoln as saying – “Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet”.
I mean, the academic consensus is he was almost certainly an egg, as the answer to a riddle. The linked Mental Floss article acknowledges this. Saying categorically that he wasn’t an egg is less correct than saying he was.
I’ve always wondered about the old-time compliment, “He’s a good egg.”
I submitted this one as a “ew-w-w,” as they are using his body parts as furniture, but I do like one of the comments under it: “Humpty would be pleased, to be helping others!!!”
Telling Robert about this discussion as we have our late night snack - he told me something I did not know.
Humpty is an old type of cannon! Shocked to hear this – and in the middle of reading a week’s worth of posts here I did a quick search – yes, Wikipedia agrees with him! (Well, he is well read in history.)
The “cannon” explanation is a theory, and has a some measure of support. It makes some sense within some versions of the poem, but it’s never been proven in any satisfactory fashion. I’ll point out that Wikipedia mentions that theory, along with others, but provides no opinion on which is correct.

There is considerable debate as to its true origin, one such enumeration of speculations as to the true origin can be found here: https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/was-humpty-dumpty-an-egg
There are others- like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUbDdWe1yE8 with an explanation of four possibilities.
