Deep in the woods,amongst the trees.
Further than others will ever see.

Past the trail, where men dare not to go.
There is a creature there, you don't want to know.

Warty hands and smell so vile.
A voice so shrill it can be heard from miles.

He's tiny in stature, with a stocky frame.
It's been a long time since anyone's mentioned his name.

His eyes beady like tiny black holes.
That will stare deep down into your soul.

He's Hunched over ever so slightly- but do not be deceived.
He's fast as a rabbit, he will take out your knees.

His speech is slow as if his head is full of rocks.
But he's cunning, devious and sly as a fox.

But the thing you need to know and never dare forget.
Hold always in your mind and never to be said.

This one word will bring you nothing but pain.
Will send any man or woman completely insane.

To utter the word ties you to the beast.
He is the creature you would like least.

He will torture you slowly, he will ruin you life.
He will be there morning and night.

He will slowly and steadily drive you mad.
He will destroy everything you ever had.

When you are at the point when you can't fight anymore - all fight in you is gone.
He will lead you in to the woods with his enticing song.

Some say he feast upon his victims, some says he plays with their bones.
Some say they are kept as prisoners in his home.

But what is for sure, most certainly known.
You will never come back - you will never see home.

This is not a game - you will ever win.
Don't utter the words Rumpelstiltskin.
