The clock hung near the play-room window. It called out:
“Turn heels over head. The barn is red.
Tick, tock, tick, tock!”

It did not take him long to get there, you may be sure.
Teddie and Freddie and Mama and Papa all ran to meet him.
They cried, “Hurrah for Humpty Dumpty! Hurrah for the stiff upper lip!”
Mama and Papa had not found anything to eat.
