Egged On

PHOTO PROMPT © Todd Foltz


Long before he fell off a wall and scrambled himself, Humpty had made a quite a reputation as a stand up comic.

In those days members of his community were hard-boiled folks who would look down on anyone daring to be different.

Being born free range he begged to differ and would say there is no such thing as a bad yolk.

His eggsuberant spirit won over all those who doubted his ability to crack jokes. Chicks flocked to his performances.

Off the Wall TV show invited him to be a guest star. He accepted and you know the rest.

I've missed a few entries these last few months.  It's not that I have a bad case of eggzema, I am always eggcited to take part, just work commitments are taking precedence over writing.  So this is my eggpress entry this week.  I hope it makes you cackle.

I'd love read what you think about this post...

    Dear Subroto,

    I'll have my story sunny-side up with a side of hot-crossed puns. I practically flipped over seeing you back. Loved your Off the wall story.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Now I've had this debate many times with different people, even on blogs I think, but why do we assume Humpty is an egg? Nothing in the nursery rhyme says he is, so where did it start? Still, should have known better than to appear on that show!

      Thanks Ali, I hope it didn't come off as a bit egg-centric.

    Reading that was like eating a tasty omelette - eggs spread everywhere. Loved 'chicks flocked to see him'!
