I learned this poem in public school in 1965 . . . . . I think I will be doing an altered art page on the image that also goes on in my head. I see an Ichabod Crane character in my head///probably an 1800 looking character ... thin and poorly goomed ..... When I smell Ivory Bar Soap I recall washing my hands in the bathroom sink located in the rear of every classroom. I went to Hope School, Hope, Rhode Island !!!!<br />annielouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571981118775238069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749059681475538860.post-46417525835309497342014-02-20T09:08:21.467-05:002014-02-20T09:08:21.467-05:00Note: In the copyrighted redo of the Solomon Grund...Note: In the copyrighted redo of the Solomon Grundy nursery rhyme, Salome (name taken from Salome, the Daughter of Herod II and Herodias) was actually a poem about Lilith (or one of her many guises).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470855278104396085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749059681475538860.post-87590938958099012662014-02-20T09:02:58.320-05:002014-02-20T09:02:58.320-05:00Years ago, when I was in college, I wrote several ...Years ago, when I was in college, I wrote several short stories and submitted them for publishing in a school magazine.

In return, he asks for her first born child. She agrees – but when the day comes to hand over the kid, she can’t do it. Rumpelstiltskin tells her that he will let her off the bargain if she can guess his name. She overhears him singing his name by a fire and so she guesses it correctly. Rumpelstiltskin, furious, runs away, never to be seen again. But in the updated version, things are a little messier. Rumpelstiltskin is so angry that he drives his right foot deep into the ground. He then grabs his left leg and rips himself in half. Needless to say this kills him." Yeah, its like that. Needless to say you dont MESS with Rumpelstiltskin, or he will kill...himself, and you'll feel guilty. This is related because Rumpelstiltskin is also a nursery rhyme.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325388383429866719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749059681475538860.post-72279021761790578382014-02-09T04:17:45.490-05:002014-02-09T04:17:45.490-05:00Oh yeah dude, I like pratuls version.
