The alleged suicide of the popular egg has raised many a child's brow. The initial reports that were quickly hushed up points towards foul play and many suspected a political assassination of sorts. There were eyewitness reports of a goblin who pushed Humpty from behind and ran away!! No doubt Humpty held a prominent place in the King's collectibles... for he ordered all his men and horses to go fix "him". But it was too late...
Off late there's been some talk about the motives and much speculation on what the late Humpty was made of. The leaked page of the classified autopsy reports mentioned that Humpty was a "He" and the village girls who were his fans said amen to that in relief. But it made no mention of his details. Was he a Chocolate egg, with a toy inside? Was he murdered for his toy? Some say he was a mean "Hard-boiled" chap... always grumpy and nose held high (do eggs have necks?). But they were uncredible folks at the tavern, soaked in ale and grease. Friends at the castle all claim that he was a jolly good youthful fellow and could never imagine him to be the "chocolate" type. They swore he was a fine good 'ol fashioned soft boiled egg with a yolk of liquid gold!
The mystery of Humpty Dumpty eludes people (some of us at least) even to this day. The legend who appeared in all the popular magazine covers... and who can forget the Pulitzer prize winning photograph of that egg shaped silhouette on the wall... I hope a movie comes out on Humpty Dumpty soon :)
