Why is Humpty Dumpty an egg?!
Question: Seriously? There is no where in the nursery rhyme to say that he is.
Any answers? : )

Aha... it isn't revealed until the second verse.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men...
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
...Here's the little known second verse...
Scrambled or fried yell one of the men,
If he hadn't of broken...
I'd have pushed that egg over the wall again.
Have a star and a great day.
.
Because of the images/pictures/illustrations that went with the original version of the rhyme.
becausssssseeee the nursery rhyme cartoon and books etc..had him drawn as an egg.so thats y
Good Point
Why would the kings men be so evil and not put him together? *crying*
You can tell Humpty Dumpty is a box, cubic or anything else because he's an imaginary character~~
your yoking right?...you crack me up!
Because once an egg breaks, there is not way to put it back together.
If you look up Humpty Dumpty on Wikipedia, it gives the history of it. Originally it was a riddle. The fact that Humpty is an egg is not actually stated in the rhyme. The rhyme is no longer posed as a riddle, since the answer is now so well known.
"In its first printed form, in 1810, it is a riddle, and exploits for misdirection the fact that "humpty dumpty" was 18th-Century reduplicative slang for a short, clumsy person. Whereas a clumsy person falling off a wall would not be irreparably damaged, an egg would be."
I'm guessing the first person ever to illustrate that nursery rhyme was hungry...
Or high...
Eggs break easily
Ask no questions and you get no lies.
THE END` thanks!! youve won a Chocolate`Easter EGG`?
If you watch the cartoon he falls and cracks open.
Because if he's a chicken already, he'll fall right into the deep fryer.
