      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.

      It’s an old nursery rhyme that was originally posed as a riddle, and the answer was that Humpty Dumpty was an egg.

      If it has any meaning beyond that, it’s yours to make. I personally like it being a story of a king that spent all his time and efforts on building an army while ignoring everything else, just to have some other unforeseen thing topple his rule in a way that no army could repair.
