Rumpelstiltskin I am Styled
Once upon a time
In the land of trees and beauty
I lived within my shack
The king had rule over many
The people followed his riches wherever that he went
Although I fabricate myself to his manor nightly
None ponder my presence
On occasion, I bake, and others I brew
Under the gate I travel
Snatching whatever and anything too
This solemn night was average
With shines and utensils alike
Yet I hear the sound of a cry
Far below his quarters I hike
It was then that I spun gold from straw
In exchange a necklace and a ring another nigh
Three times I whirred, three different rooms
Each larger than the last
Soon I hold that ladies’ child tight and steadfast
No one knows the name of Rumpelstiltskin
For no one knows of he
Three nights I give her chance to call me by name
Lest the lady stumble my name across her tongue
The gold I spun from straw was for her life
And I need riches
Conrad she calls, then Harry, but that is not my name
She will not guess for I have none of any fame
Rumpelstiltskin she calls
Outraged at such a loss to my scores
I slam my foot right through the floors
Stuck just as the lady and the straw
I struggle myself blue
I pull hard and I pull again
Pulling so hard I tear myself in two.
