RUMPELSTILTSKIN
I knew a girl with a gentle grin,
did not know my name: Rumpelstiltskin
a princess with rosey cheeks,
With eyes ages old,
Forcing her to make straw of gold,
guessed my name,
I begged and beckoned,
Her slyness and craft were one I never reckoned,
I spun the straw of gold for the young girl,
all in exchange for her rings, and diamonds, pretty little pearls,
I'd take her first born after the deed was done,
a bond that could not be broken,
She begged and pleaded,
for the love of her child,
an offer that sparked my beguile,
Guess my name,
I challenged the maiden,
and your child shall be claimed,
though, I warn,
It's quite a challenge,
No man has ever said my name,
three days you have,
Until your child is mine,
An agreement that cannot be undone,
Sheepshanks Cruickshanks, Spindleshanks? Or Harry?
Not my name, I howled yelled,
twas her child I could carry,
Then finally when I thought all was done,
and the task I knew I'd won,
the prciness guessed my name,
the name Rumpelstiltskin.
