What the poem refers to is a huge cannon placed on the edge of a wall. When it fell off the wall, it proved impossible to move it back to the top of the wall.
I knew someone in here would know the story behind the poem
@Rudy1962 I'm full of worthless information.
@Rudy1962 It is a poem about how screwed up the Royal familys were at the time. Humpty was King George III and he was screwing up (losing the Colonies) and nobody could fix anything he did.
@Eirteacher Not that I'd mislead anyone, young innocent that I am.
" . . . . So, you might be asking, what was Humpy Dumpty? Well, if you believe several historians, Humpty Dumpty was actually the nickname of a cannon used during the English Civil War of 1642–1649 . . . . "
