someone at the court says this :
I brought a Weeble for the judge
to whack with his wood hammer.
I always wanted to see what made
these things not fall down.
a weeble is a small toy which doesn't fall down, right?
but i don't understand the relationship between a weeble and a judge's wood hammer...
anybody please tell me~
thanks !!!

A weeble is an egg-shaped toy (usually a little person) that is weighted at the bottom, so it rocks back and forth but always centers itself so it is standing back up again. I think the person meant for the judge to hit the toy with his gavel and break it open, showing the inside of it - whatever it is that they use to weight the bottom portion. I remember when I was a kid, I too always wondered what it was inside that was so much heavier on just the bottom part.

It is just a nonsense poem. You are right, a weeble doesn't fall down. The ads used to say, "weebles wobble but they don't fall down." There is no relationship between a weeble and a judge's wood hammer (which is called a gavel). A lot of cute little poems like that does not really make logical sense.
