Nowhere in the rhyme does it say Humpty is an egg.

That's actually a common misconception.

Humpty Dumpty was the king.

Was looking up a source to say it was actually a cannon all along, and found out that apparently the guy who originally said that just made it up???

Fun wikipedia page. I guess I'll have to scrub that bit of misinformation from my brain now.

Tl;dr No one really knows what the meaning was.

Do the humpty hump!

Fun fact

It doesn't mention anywhere in the nursery rhyme that humpty dumpty is an egg :)

This, in fact, is an excellent example of adhering to the prime directive.
