Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Nobody knows. Lewis Carrol wrote about Humpty Dumpty in 'Alice through the Looking Glass' and the rhyme is used to teach children about irreversible changes/actions and consequences. First published in about 1810 but dating back to the 17th century, it is thought that the rhyme originally described the destruction in the English Civil War of a Royalist cannon felled from a parap it at St Marys church, during the Parliamentarian seige of Colchester in 1684.
This is the story derived from the PPP-Ps past regime but do not to forget the present one and rhyme would be sung alike...
