The original author of Humpty Dumpty is completely unknown:
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.
Did we write it to ourselves?
We typically use it as a riddle and walk it back to, “you can’t un-break an egg.”
But the lyrics never say that Humpty Dumpty had broken, or had hit the bottom yet, or even that they were an egg. We decided Humpty Dumpty’s fate, but maybe it was that all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again because they weren’t broken, and they hadn’t hit the bottom yet, and they might be less fragile than we think, and they might jump back up and sit on a wall again?
