Compy Dompy
I represent our client Mr Dumpty
He had an accident you may recall
And though some might regard him as a 'numpty'
We feel the blame lies squarely with your wall.
In short to watch the Royal pageant pass through
Mad throngs had lined the streets as mad throngs do
And Mr Dumpty being short in stature
Climbed your wall to get a better view
Our client was left with multiple abrasions
On top of that whiplash, of course, and stress
The King's men (and their horses) couldn't save him
But luckily we have the NHS
As he got to theatre he was raving
He lost a lot of albumen, you know
His exoskeleton like crazy paving
The surgeons said that it was touch and go
The wall was checked by our top engineer
His findings you will see in his report
Poor workmanship and maintenance that’s clear
All points that surely would stand up in court
It clearly notes the weakness of the mortar
Suggesting possibly a lack of lime
Or inconsistent mixing of the water
A wonder how it's stayed up till this time
Unfortunately this is now our culture
Substantial compensation is our aim
By every ambulance you'll find a vulture
For where there's blame there's usually a claim
So to the root of this communication
Let’s try to focus on the job in hand
The simple matter of your implication
The compy - shall we call it twenty grand?

Thanks to all for comments on this. Seems ages ago. Been busy with family stuff.
