Once upon a time there was this ovum consisting of an envelope of albumen, jelly and membranes which decided to moor its entirety on a parapet. Then rather suddenly, and without notice, the ovular being succumbed to a Brobdingnagian gravitational pull, the result was that the entire embodiment of the paramount's yeomanry and hervibores were unequal to the task of assemblage.

It's interesting to note that... nowhere in the nursery rhyme does it mention that Humpty Dumpty was an egg. In fact, Humpty Dumpty was thought to be a giant cannon. Check out this link.
