It’s Valentine’s Day today, the day that broke our heart
The day we lost each other, the day we were torn apart
All our lives, we were joined together as one
We lazed around, chilled, and had oodles of unadulterated fun
But then came that day, when it all came to an untimely end
Something happened, that neither time nor tide could mend
And try as we might, our efforts are bound to go in vain
For what chance do we have, when even all the king’s horses, and all the king’s men, could not put us together again!

What is that day? What happened?
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and broke into two. This is one part of the body, talking about the other part.
Beautiful poem, but oh so sad.
Poor Humpty Dumpty!
Well, Hallmark won’t like it but it’s a fine love poem, as that’s the way it goes sometimes.
True that π
A bit of bad timing. Good poem!
Thank you so much Sascha.

This makes me think Humpty Dumpty and his love were Cadbury Eggs! But that getting my holidays crossed, isn’t it? Fun flash, Anurag!
Thank you so much Charli
Too bad Humpity wasn’t boiled first, eh? π
Ha ha ha, true that.
I just saw a comic with Humpity – he survived his fall – he’d installed an air bag!
Ha ha ha
