Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Breach of Contract

Righteous indignation by right

Had Rumpelstiltskin in Grimm's tale.

He'd made a deal with the Queen tight

For her firstborn, male or female.

And in return he spun the straw

Into a lot of gold so that

The King married the Queen by law.

She then reneged on her deal flat.

Rumpelstiltskin, being nice guy,

Offered to play a guessing game

Which the Queen won, by trick was why,

Eavesdropping when he spilled his name.

The Rumpelstiltskins today do

Righteous indignation and sue.
