The Ballad Of Humpty Dumpty

Here is a ballad I've managed to put together for my poetry class. I can't write poetry, so I thought I'd share with you :) If anyone has any suggestions for improvement, please send them my way!!!

Once upon a time, in a land far away,
     In a kingdom a long way from home,
Some issues were arising in Toy-Land,
     Not too dissimilar from our own.


As life does sometimes appear,
      To set us up for a great fall,
 Here's the story of  our poor Humpty;
      And how she came to be sat on that wall. 
A maiden once so beautiful,

     Taken under Hollywood's crook,
Given a hat and tuffet,
     Dyed her hair blonde, how it should look.


Through diets and tears, one Co-star,
      Looked on with an affectionate eye,
But spiders are hard to notice,
      When you're gazing at the sky.


Each night she would marvel,
      At a handsome face from above,
The man in the moon who winked at her,
      And whispered words of love.


So desperate was he who promised,
    The lovers would be together soon,
If only his maiden could find him,
    A way down from the moon.


And our heroine emptied her savings jar,
      To purchase a one way flight,
From a cow who they say jumped frequently,
      Over the moon at night.


Just before leaving she looked to the sky,
        To a moon, no longer there,
Rumours they say of a beanstalk,
        And a sheepmaid with pretty, blonde hair.


Our lovelorn little maiden,
       Began to look oddly round,
"Oh woe is me!" She cried,
      And ate anything she found.


This caused much disturbance in Toy-Land,
      Mean names as if often the case,
When you're carrying weight, you're ugly,
      They forget your once beautiful face.


A peculiar thing for an abandoned flock,
       When soon each wandering soul died,
Humpty began to pile the sheep up,
     And turned each to stone as she cried.


And often when hearts are broken,
      And we find ourselves alone,
We begin setting about our foundations,
     For a sheep wall made out of stone.


The world turned its back on Humpty,
     So she vowed with all her might,
Never again to trust anyone,
     Looking down from this great height.


Humpty leapt from the wall in sadness,
       As a spider called out in despair,
He'd built a small web to catch her,
       When she thought there was nobody there.


But webs are not always strong enough,
       To keep up alive, in good health,
Our loved ones only can guide us,
       And hope we believe in ourself.
