Speaking of Humpty Dumpty....

We're having a little competition at work...we have about 40 people and the contest for who can lose the most % weight will go from today until the first of September. I'm hoping to hit at least 10% loss (there's NO way I'm giving you my weight in pounds!!)....lol...it's $20 to register which makes the pot just under $800....I could buy alot of clothes with eight hundred dollars...

It ought to be interesting....and difficult cause when I get back east, whoa mama, those little red lobsters don't stand a chance....sigh, this is going to be harder than I first thought....

Who Pushed Humpty?

One of the best things about Paden in grade one is now he reads to me before bed instead of the other way around...I still read to him, but I get such joy out of hearing his little voice and his use of intonation when he reads his stories.

He brought one home tonite to read to me and I thought it was so clever that I would share it - it's called Who Pushed Humpty? By H.O.O. Dunnit.......

Who Pushed Humpty? (A nursery rhyme crime)

There is a rhyme we all recall,

that tells of Humpty and his fall.

From the wall he fell headlong-

but how did it happen? What went wrong?

Was Humpty pushed? Was it a crime?

We'll look at the suspects, one at a time.

First the old woman, who lived in a shoe:

she had lots of children- all hungry, too.

Did she see Humpty, high on the wall,

and plan an omelette to feed them all?

Up the hill went Jill with Jack,

up to the well at the top of the track.

Jack fell down and broke his crown-

did Jill push Jack and Humpty down?

The Duke of York marched all his men

to the top of the hill and down again.

And what did that army think of most?

Was it Humpty, served on toast?

There was a little girl, who had a curl,

who could be good - or horrid.

In a bad temper, late one night,

did she push Humpty, out of spite?

In the dark, Tom Tom ran by,

with a squealing pig from a farmer's sty.

Stop thief! cried Humpty from the wall.

Be Quiet hissed Tom, or you might fall.

Or maybe, while alone at night,

Humpty saw the strangest sight.

A cow was jumping over the moon;

a dish was running away with a spoon!

Did Humpty laugh and wobble around?

Could this be how he fell to the ground?

But someone else we shouldn't neglect

is little Jack Horner, a prime suspect.

After pie - all sugar and spice-

a simple egg might be quite nice.

And little Bo Peep, when she lost her sheep,

might have grown tired of looking.

Did she see Humpty on the wall-

and begin to think of cooking?

The suspects now have all been named.

Look at them closely. Who's to blame?

'You'll have to guess.

cause we won't tell,

how it was that Humpty fell.

But probably you have a hunch-

and while you're thinking...we'll have lunch!'

LOL
