“Reopen the Humpty Dumpty case. Jack Horner did it!”
Police smash through JH’s door with a big red key, drag the little boy from the corner & confiscate his pie.
“Y’ got nothin’ on me,” says JH, showing his true colours: a hardened criminal disguised as a little boy.
“GUILTY” says the Judge before they even get to court.
“But how?”
The Magistrate thrusts a thumb in the pie, pulls out a plum, some eggshell & an ‘I did it’ note.
“The proof is in the pudding,” he says.
“This is a stitch-up!” complains JH.
