All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together AGAIN.
The word "Again" defines as= another time: once more:anew.
Humpty had fallen previously, but this time they couldn't put him back together again. If he only hadn't been tempted to climb that wall, he might still be with us now.

Rest In "Pieces"
Good observation. However, note that Hump is dressed as the court jester, and he was quite used to entertaining from atop the wall. However, incoming administration naturally brought in new King's men, and they weren't concerned with the tradition of egg shell reconstruction, because their mandate was "CHANGE."
Poor Hump, as Michelle's maids mopped up the Dumpty-goo, an imploring whimper floated through the courtyard,
"Si, se puede."

SOS
Of course the new administration could make deconstructing some of the traditional walls a priority, thereby minimizing the catastrophic nature of a fall in the first place.

Egg only by popular acclaim, (including period illustrations,) and that it solves the originally intended riddle, asserts Wikipedia,
<<Humpty Dumpty is a character in a Nursery rhyme typically portrayed as an egg...The rhyme does not actually state that Humpty Dumpty is an egg. In its first printed form in 1810, the rhyme is posed as a riddle and exploits for misdirection the fact that "humpty dumpty" was also 18th-Century reduplicative slang for a short and clumsy person; the riddle being that whereas a clumsy person falling off a wall would not be irreparably damaged, an egg would be. The rhyme is no longer posed as a riddle, since the answer is now so well known. >>
No, sorry. But sometimes it's hard to distinguish a rhetorical question from a literal question. (I suppose that's why we have "TIC," and I should use it more, too.)
Personally, I enjoy attempting to portray a certain mood with only words rather than emoticons. (Not that there's anything wr, wr, wrong with cheap emoticons.)
