This one's really good
what?
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Why downvote them? I'm not English and never heard of this rhyme.

It’s an old nursery rhyme that was originally posed as a riddle, and the answer was that Humpty Dumpty was an egg.
If it has any meaning beyond that, it’s yours to make. I personally like it being a story of a king that spent all his time and efforts on building an army while ignoring everything else, just to have some other unforeseen thing topple his rule in a way that no army could repair.

It never says humpty was an egg in the rhyme
True, but it didn't say he wasn't, either.
What do you suppose it is? I'm eager to learn what horses could reassemble.
The "horses" in this context would refer to cavalryman.
Possibly a cannon or a siege engine, but no one is certain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpty_Dumpty#Meaning
And "horses" in the context of the rhyme means "horsemen" or "cavalrymen", not literal horses.
Hey, it's a joke. No need to dissect the original literal meaning.
