Fiona's Stew
Karyn Indursky
July 2012

Upon a brick wall
sat Humpty Dumpy
watching the Jester play ball...

Humpty Dumpty was talking trash
for the Jester couldn't hit at all.

He laughed so loud, so hard
that his eyes began to water
and his shell began to crack.

The Jester was mad.
How dare he laugh at him?!
A mischievous grin appeared on his face.

He grabbed a bowl
to catch Humpty's oozing yolk
and beat him with a fork.

Along came Superman
to try to save Mr. Dumpty,
but he was too late.

Superman's temper was flaring
like a siren
and the Jester become broth mixed with eggs.

If he couldn't save Humpty Dumpty
why share dinner with
Princess Fiona?

Princess Fiona was thrilled
and added some carrots, green beans, beef, red pepper
for stew.
