Hum...
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
None of the king's horses and none of his men
Were able to put him together again
Something along these lines, right?

Close, but:
"All of the king's horses and all of the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again."
as the ending.

I'm over thirty now, but there's always Jack Sprat:
Jack Sprat can swing his bat
his wife can spray her mace
He'll slap her hard when she's off-guard
she'll spritz him in the face
Jack sprat is knocked out flat
his wife the worst of sights
though bitter foes, at least it shows
they're into equal rights!
And Omar:
Omar had a little bomb,
he found it filled a need
For getting rid of all those folks
with whom he disagreed
Omar let his bomb go off
without the proper care
Now we're finding little bits
of Omar everywhere
And Jack again:
Jack be nimble, Jack be slick
Jack meet mugger, Jack give kick
Jack show quickness, Jack show skill
Jack learn bullet
quick or still
All very important topics for today's world, thanks to a 1984 Mad
Magazine :)

Mary had a little lamb, his fleece was black as soot,
and everywhere that Mary went, his sooty foot he put.
Mary had a rattlesnake, with music in its tail.
It followed Mary everywhere and made her friends quite pale.
Mary had a small racoon, who was so very cute,
but everywhere that Mary et, it tried to wash her fruit.
Mary had a squirrel then, which et thru wires and cables.
When Mary turned her TV on, she found she wasn't able.
So Mary said she'd have a wolf, a loyal savage beast.
It kept her safe like Romulus. Didn't scare her in the least.
Then Mary's choice fell on a moose, which brayed and smelt quite strong.
And everywhere that Mary went her friends declared "So long!"
Mary had a Tyranosaur. She grew it from a cell.
But when she took the beast to school, the teachers left as well.
So Mary is alone right now. No humans venture near her.
But Mary is quite happy, with squirrel, moose, wolf, tyranosaur,
racoon, rattlesnake, and, oh yes, a little lamb to cheer her.

Yes it is open to debate. I have little opinion on the subject.
