Heumpty Deumpty

Have you heard of one Humpty Dumpty * [?]

You've been listening at doors -- and behind trees -- and sown chimneys -- or you couldn't have known it ! **

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.

Four-score Men and Four-score more,
Could not make Humpty Dumpty where he was before. 

* James Joyce - Finnegans Wake

** Lewis Caroll - Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There
