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, the rhyme originally described the destruction in the English Civil War of a Royalist cannon felled from a parapit at St Marys church, during the Parliamentarian seige of Colchester in 1684
