A joyous character
Achieved a great feat.

Many people that tried to,
Never got him repaired.

I found this really interesting. It was easy to me, but I'm not certain why. I think the meter, the feel, just evoked the original nursery rhyme. The title may have put me in the right mindset. There was so much here beyond the strict text that hints at the answer. Very nicely done!
Well written, and a nice, easy one for the juniors!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it with the first paragraph.
