He could have been all manner of other things. I rather doubt all the kings horses and all the kings men would have had any better luck putting one of us back together again, either, assuming the wall was high enough, of course.

The rhyme does not explicitly state that the problem is an egg because it became initially posed as a riddle, first printed in 1810. It probable exploited, for misdirection, the actual undeniable reality that "humpty dumpty" became also eighteenth-century reduplicative slang for a short and clumsy man or woman. The riddle might want to remember on the perception that, while an awkward man or woman falling off a wall might want to not be irreparably damaged, an egg might want to be.

Humpty Dumpty wasn't an egg. But many thought he resembled an egg, and everyone agreed he was an egg-head. You won't find this in the Bible, but it is in "Mother Goose Exposes All" by none other than the Goose herself. You also learn that Old King Cole was on anti-depressants!

Humpty Dumpty is a children's rhyme based loosely on the destruction of a very, very large cannon called Humpty Dumpty. It was called this due to the incredibly deep boom it gave when it fired. It eventually fell from the wall on which it was mounted shattered on the ground, and was left irreparable.
