History: (From the East Anglia Tourist Board in England)
"Humpty Dumpty was a powerful cannon during the
English Civil War (1642-49). It was mounted on top of the St Mary's
at the Wall Church in Colchester defending the city against siege in
the summer of 1648. (Although Colchester was a Parliamentarian
stronghold, it had been captured by the Royalists and they held it
for 11 weeks.) The church tower was hit by the enemy and the top
of the tower was blown off, sending "Humpty" tumbling to the ground.
Naturally the King's men* tried to mend him but in vain."
* NB: The "men" would have been infantry, and "horses" the cavalry troops.

Rolled right out the door!

With beautiful moss
It grew lovely meatballs
In a tomato sauce
So if you like spaghetti
All covered with cheese
Hold on to your meatballs
And DON'T EVER SNEEZE!

What, found your mittens,
Then you're good kittens,
And you shall have some pie.
Purr-rr, purr-rr,
Then you shall have some pie.
Three little kittens,
Put on their mittens,
And soon ate up the pie.
Oh, mother, dear,
We sadly fear,
Our mittens we have soiled.
What! Soiled your mittens,
You naughty kittens,
And they began to sigh.
Meow, meow,
And they began to sigh.
The three little kittens,
They washed their mittens,
And hung them out to dry.
Oh, mother, dear,
Do you not hear,
Our mittens we have washed?
What! Washed your mittens?
Then you're good kittens!
But I smell a rat close by.
Meow, meow,
We smell a rat close by.

Three young ducks with white straw flats,

In satin vests and sorrel wigs,
But suddenly it chanced to rain
And so they all went home again.
