It says in the very link you posted that the original Humpty Dumpty rhyme was a riddle, where his being an egg was purposefully left out so you would have to guess it.

Nursery rhymes are known for being violent and disturbing in the original versions, as they were intended to scare young children into behaving.

I'm quite fond of the children's stories by Heinrich Hoffmann.

Some of those are pretty gruesome. The Dreadful Story of Pauline and The Matches and The Story of Little Suck-a-Thumb in particular.
