"But an American doctor with patience and glue, put humpty together better than new, now he is busily on the scene, selling Humpty Dumpty magazine." The second verse used to be in the Humpty Dumpty magazine I used to get when I was a kid..in the late 50's. I don't know if it is still in their magazine, but I do know it is still published.

I used to get it here in Canada as a kid almost 50 years ago. And the rest of the poem in our editions said: but a clever young doctor with patience and glue put humpty together better than new. And now he is healthy and back on the scene busily editing this magazine. Love those mags. My grandfather bought me the subscription and taught me the poem at age 5.
Also in Canada, around 1966, as a kid at age 11 I heard this version :
But an American doctor
With paste and glue,
Put Humpty together
Better than new!
No, "Humpty Dumpty" is a short nursery rhyme with just one verse. The rhyme tells the story of an egg-shaped character named Humpty Dumpty who falls off a wall and cannot be put back together.
