Humpty Dumpty looked at the wall
Humpty Dumpty said “This must fall.”
Mexican cartels, yes rapists and thugs,
Cross now with ease and sold Humpty his drugs.

Humpty Dumpty left a long war.
Humpty Dumpty said, “What’s this for?”
Sitting all cozy in his leather chair
Leaving Americans screwed over there.

Humpty Dumpty preened “I am woke.”
Humpty Dumpty cracked when he spoke.
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men
Cannot put Humpty together again.

    If Biden (the Resident) is an egg like Humpty Dumpty, he’s more than cracked. He’s addled.

    Nice stuff, Roy. It took you to show us how far we have fallen and how completely we are broken.
