A True Story lll
Again, Giorgio repeated his version of the little man's name.
'And, that's why you were late? '
'Uh-huh. Sorry.'
Giorgio was more than apologetic. He was sincere. It was lovely.
'Rumpleforeskin, Rumpleforeskin, ' I chanted, sitting back-
it had a certain ring.
Anyway, there was no convincing Giorgio.
'So, Giorgio, how was your week? '
'Let me tell you about it.'
The session began.

A True Story ll
'-So one night she was coming home from a party, interrupted Giorgio,
but she had to go through a big forest or something.
Up ahead she saw a bonfire burning
There was the little man, dancing around the flames!
pretty weird, huh? '
'I've heard worse. And then...? '
'Dancing and singing his name, see? '
'So she learned his name? '
'Yep. And, boy, was he mad!
He had to do all her work without getting paid.
It was like getting married.'
'Do you remember his name? ' I asked,
hoping to test Giorgio's short-term memory.
'Of course.'
'What was it? '
'It was....Rumpleforeskin.'
'It was what? ' I said, makng a face. 'Are you sure? '
'Sure I'm sure. It was Rumpleforeskin.'
I sat up, loath to laugh.
'That's not what I remember, Giorgio.
You mean RumpleSTILZKIN-
his name was RumpleSTILZKIN.'
'Whatever, ' conceded Giorgio. 'Hey, no, it was Rumpleforeskin!
Why should I say Rumplestilzkin when his name was Rumpleforeskin?
Trust me on this one, doc.'
'What channel was this? '
'31'
I made a mental note.
'And what was his name, again? '

A True Story l
At a quarter past the hour there came a knock at the door-
it was Giorgio, late as usual.
'Giorgio, you're late', I yelled from my chair.
I knew it was him. He had a very personal knock.
Besides, I was expecting him.
It was getting dark. That's not true-it was dark already.
Traffic on the Avenue was jammed. Horns were wailing.
Head lights, street lights, on, on.
What excuse would he give this time?
Giorgio was what we called a 'space cadet',
come from what you might well call 'generation text',
as any my age would readily agree.
Brooklyn-born and bred, his name despite,
Giorgio was ultra-likeable, if distractible,
but I was unprepared for what came next.
'Doc, there was this fascinating show on TV-
I mean FAS-cinating. I couldn't stop watching.'
'Oh', I said, without much interest,
irked to be undone by a re-run.
'It was called 'Grimm's Stories'. On channel 31
There's lots. Have you heard of them? '
'uh-huh, I replied, looking at my notes,
I think I've heard of the Grimm's things-
somewhere along the line.'
'Well, this one was about a little old guy with a long beard.
Him and this chick made a deal.
He'd do all her work for free
if she could guess his name.
And she did! '
'Sure, ' I said, sitting back,
'I remember that one.
It's called....
-So one night...

Love Is In Love Again
(giorgio moroder/ tom whitlock)
Producer for bonnie: giorgio moroder
Ooh run away lucky while you still know the way
If youre looking for your chance for one good payday
Do you really think youve got a ghost of a chance?
Its the coldest of towns to be lookin for romance
Ooh run away baby - youre too young to see
The way its goin down on the city streets
When trouble comes around there is no mystery
Youre running from it all so you better run now
Love is in pieces - put it back together now
Its supposed to be easy - but its so so mad
All the things we say
When the worlds gone crazy - its so hard to handle
Sooner or later itll all come clearer
When love is in love again
Ooh pictures in the paper of the faces youve seen
Walking down the halls where justice is done
What they say they say is not what they mean?
A different set of rules than are meant for you and me
Everybodys looking for an easier way
So go go go go
Everybody running from a shadow today
But they run so slow
song performed by by Bonnie Tyler
