Humpty Trumpty

My friend Susan posted a photo of a group of individuals climbing and sitting on the top of Trump’s unclimbable wall. I reposted it. The following conversation ensued:

Me: This is not a tourist stunt. These are professional chefs who are frying eggs on the top of the wall. It’s a new reality TV show to see who can fry the best eggs in the shortest time.

S: I hope Trump sees the reference to fried eggs. It would make him so proud.

Me: By Trump I assume you mean our president, Humpty Trumpty.

S: Yeah. Wasn't he bragging about how you could fry an egg on his fabulous, unbreachable wall?

Me: Humpty Trumpty fried eggs on a wall
Humpty Trumpty had a great fall
All these king’s horses and all the king’s men
Tossed Humpty into a jailer’s pen

S: Can't wait.

Me: Change that last “Humpty” into a “Trumpty”. Sounds better. Also the jailers’ pen. Scans better.

Not in the original Facebook exchange but I add this additional comment:

As Trump is so fond of saying, “Walls work!“
As proof, look at this Wikipedia expert regarding the most famous wall in human history:

>Although a useful deterrent against raids, at several points throughout its history the Great Wall failed to stop enemies, including in 1644 when the Manchu Qing marched through the gates of Shanhai Pass and replaced the most ardent of the wall-building dynasties, the Ming, as rulers of China.<

Yes. It’s a matter of historical fact. The most determined wall builders of all time were invaded and conquered by the Manchus, who crossed the incredible working wall.
