since childhood I always laughed at the mental image of the king getting so frustrated with the men he tries putting the horses up to the task and of course they can’t do shit, they’re horses
And I think humpty dumpty was understood to be a cannon or something. Which makes sense, you drop a cannon from high up enough that it shatters its probably not going to be put back together.
For those wondering about the Humpty reference (no egg):
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the King’s men
Could not put Humpty together again.

But the horses were listed first, so I assume they were his first choice.
Which to me means he had absolutely no confidence in his men from the start
“Your Highness! Someone has fallen off a wall and broken into pieces, and we barely understand rudimentary surgery!”
“Send in the horses!”
“Y-your Highness? Surely at least the men—”
“You heard me, send the horses!”

Ohhh, I’d never heard of that —and I’ve been around for quite a while! 🤩🖖🏼
Thank you for spreading the Humpty Dance to those that were unfortunate enough to have never heard its greatness.
I heard it a couple of weeks ago for the first time in I don’t know how long. It’s still a banger.
