In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #960 from the issue of September 22, 2025, a standing woman—The New Yorker's metadata refers to her as "Human mother with hands on hips"—calls up to an egg (let's call him Humpty Dumpty) scaling a high wall. My entry appears below. The drawing is by Julia Suits.

| "Get up there or you'll miss all the king's horses." |
These captions were too hard-boiled:
