Tall Man (Humpty Dumpty adaptation)


There once was a great man who stood very tall.
His head would not fit through the door down the hall.

On the day that he decided to go through,
He noticed that he had lost his left shoe.

As he was turning back to head out the door,
The next thing he knew, he was facing the floor.

Hearing him fall, his neighbours ran out for aid,
But the only thing they found was a band-aid.

When the light from the moon turned into the sun,
They finally understood that he was done.

This is a poem that I wrote for school. The assignment was to do an adaptation of a nursery rhyme in any form you'd like. So, I chose to rewrite Humpty Dumpty.

Let me know what you think,
