Today's Humpty Dumpty

Peaky Oily sat on wall street
Peaky Oily had a great fall
All the Bush's pentagon
And all the Bush's men
Couldn't put Peaky Oily back together again :razz:

The King's horses and men all sat on a wall
Oil plunged and so did they all
Humpty puts a finger to his chin
Sez 'Best not bother put 'em up again'

Peaky Oily sat on wall street
Peaky Oily had a great fall in production
All the Bush's oil pals
And all the Bush's men
Couldn't put Peaky Oily production back up together again

Now Humpty's a thinkin' about the Fall
Life without oil t'would truly appall!
This jazz 'bout horses and Kings and men
Are we really gonna go medieval again?

No! said Humpty, this won't do at all!
But there sits the King in his crumbling Hall
'You know that you need me' 'tis the new King's spin
'Your freedom for food, and Live! its no sin

Humpty Dumpty Postscript

Now Humpty Dumpty never falls at all
Life goes on and we all have a ball
Nanotubes to the rescue, electron spin
Deployed and controlled and the King grins a grin

There, fixed the first stanza. You ever try this? Rhyme and meter, rhyme and meter! (the third line of the first stanza still sucks but I have to put Humpty's name in it)

The lovely art of making rhyme
A wonderful way to pass the time
I'd write some more I'm a rhyming machine
But soon my posts 'll all come out obscene
