Rumpel Still's kin are a strange lot With names not easily forgot But he was kept asleep By his cousin, the creep Moonshine Still was the guilty sot Rumpel had walked deep in the wood Where Moon was with bros in the hood Distilling white lightning The scene was frightning They drugged Rumpel more than they should Moon left him leaning 'gainst a tree Rump's whereabouts, a mystery By now you realize I have mixed up two guys Rip Van Winkle's and Rump's his'try Rip slept for years in the Catskills Rump drugged for finding Moon's stills Rip was greedy for gold Rump was growing tree mold Twisted fairytales of ill will hmmmm oh wait... that's still twisted!!

An entertaining look at two of my favorite characters, Rip and Rump. I remember them since childhood.

Legend has it old Rip slept for 20 years or so, I wonder did the dwarfs Roofie him! a lesson for all especially these days, Sorry I digress, no mix up here Lin, letting one Rip from the Rump makes perfect sense lol! A brilliantly twisted series of Lims, cheers David
