Kim Rodrigues Poet Limerick

Guessing His Name Will Save My Child

This Rumpelstiltskin, he does rattle brains.
The spin of the straw is a golden pain.
Oh lies to the king!
My child of a fling.
This imp of a name, it must become plain.

I watch all the day and the night afraid
And gather the smartest of kingdom aid.
The flames of his rage
His name on the stage.
The glean from the spin, it is left unpaid.
