“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,

couldn’t put Humpty together again.”

The subject in this rhyme is actually an Egg, though the poem does not explicitly state  this fact probably because it was originally a riddle. However now since the answer is so well known, this poem is no longer posed as a riddle. A very interesting fact about this rhyme is that the Second law of thermodynamics can be demonstrated using this rhyme. After falling, the entropy of Humpty Dumpty is so high that it can never be put into “order” again. Crazy correlation !
