This is so dang good. I don't know whether it is a parody, satire, or something that doesn't need classification. What a great creative poem merging the nursery rhyme with the famous mystery game. Exceptional. Terry.

This poem is cute and very creative. I thought I was a fan and guess I'm not. I will correct that right now. I enjoyed reading this poem and thank you for sharing it with us.

Ha ha ha. This is genius. I love it and the punch line is great. When I first started reading it I thought this should be an entry for the children's poem contest then realized no it shouldn't. Faaabulous. Jen.

    Hi Jen,
    Thank you so much for the six stars and the encouraging comments. I love the comment about thinking the poem should be for a children's contest, but realizing it shouldn't. Yep, it might be disturbing to little ones.
    Have a great day.

Well, your poem is an interesting combination of two things I'm not sure I would have ever thought to put together. It's an imaginative take on a fairy tale. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is such a fun and clever take on the Humpty fairy tale. It just gets more humorous with each line as your write of the evil ones planning his demise. Wonderful use of your imagination. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

This is absolutely awesome! I love the rhyme, I love the flow, I love the inclusion of the various elements. All in all, amazing work! I don't know if this was for a contest, but if it was I hope you won.

This is very cute. As part of masters degree in literacy, I read variations of several fairy tales and this one rivals any I've read. You have such a creative story. I truly enjoyed reading it!

This is such a cute poem. I never thought that it could have been Col Mustard who did him in. He did want tall the kings men couldn't do, put Humpty back together again. Really well done, very enjoyable.

A wonderful compilation of nursery rhyme characters and Cluedo (Clue in the US) in your very creative poem. It reads smoothly and well and is a lot of fun. Well poor Humpty - he did have a heart of gold but it was just golden yolk. Very enjoyable read. Well done.
Wendy

    Hi Wendy,
    I'm so glad you enjoyed this silly one. It was fun combining the nursery rhyme with the game. I think I drove my parents crazy as a kid because I loved to play Clue so much. Still do, if I can talk anyone into playing it with me instead of video games.
    Have a great day.
