The Emmanent Professor

Well let it roll, your Rumpelstiltskin fit,
Brave opportunist of long forced-acclaim.
Your clear and blatant fear needs no admit;
The tempest shreds the cowl from your true name.

By quiet water flow, devoid of threat
You might seduce eyes blind by riches calm.
Flood surge from toppled rock rolls by us yet
Your arrogance wants safe and sound aplomb.

The little man's dear bargain you have made
To tout your mocking gold and angry grace
Says when this asks the apple eye be paid,
Your trued worth's measured in the marketplace.

Tremble, as your patrons feel the loss
In Halls where hard won gold is spun to dross.

Rumpelstiltskin – an educational allegory for our time.
