Emperor's Forty Horses

Inspired by the 1810 nursery rhyme:



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

And how many horses of the Emperor were there
Forty? Oh my goodness, horses he have are forty
After his riding, he went for a holiday but where?
Argentina, which Madonna sang "Don't cry for me"


Zindabad, Dirgahayu, Wan-sui Wan-wan-sui, Viva
O What impressive imperialistic lifestyle he leads
And his cucu frolicking in equal style by the marina
Magnificent edifices of Arabian Nights're his deeds


Like Humpty Dumpty, the judiciary had a great fall
O such a hullabaloo that went right into our history
And the Law never did quite recover from that fall
I know you know but to 'guppies' was a big mystery


El Gaucho flings his amazing bolas to trap a kerbau
4 meat to serve His Imperialistic Perpetual Emperor
Minced, kerbau serves as delightful fillings for 'pau'
Or beef dumplings, the signature dish of roti baker

  1. When it comes to the Rise and Fall of nations, I don't believe in Humpty Dumpty, especially the bit about "could never put Numpty Dumpty back together again".
    Many fallen nations have risen again from the ashes of failure or destruction.

    But it takes determination to do what is right, leadership, unity and integrity.
    All qualities sorely lacking in Malaysia's leadership today.

    1. again Monsterball is trying to distract us with a non-related topic like Rise and Fall of nations

      But it's his dedak-motivated job

    2. Isn't your post alluding to the fall of the country's institutions, like the judiciary, and how, like Humpty Dumpty they cannot be put together again ?

  2. A thought just crossed my mind whilst in the kitchen:- What if Mahathir leads Pakatan to victory in GE14, succeeds in ousting Najib not only as prime minister but also from UMNO, then Mahathir takes his Pribumi comrades back into UMNO, thus likely tipping the majority in BN's favour and takes over the Federal government from Pakatan.

    1. my suspicion is that would be his aim - I have a few posts on that thought here - one being Greater Pribumi his legacy, another being His heart and soul is in UMNO (titles to that effect)

    2. yes possible, i think mahathir target is najib n not umno. shd pakatan win, there is no point for mahathir to return to umno bec it is now proven umno can be defected, it shown malay start to believe there is other party that could protect their interest. and whats the point of greater pribumi that could lead to another future split.

      the risk is when bn still win but performance is much worst, for eg lose another few states, than there is pressure for najib to step down, mean mahathir would be very welcome to return.

      but this is a worthwhile risk to break the umno monopoly, n bn racial formula.
