Muppim & Huppim

In Genesis 46:21, no frontin',
Are the names Muppim and Huppim,
Grandsons of Jacob, ain't that somethin'?
Meaning double mouth and a type of tent used at a wedding,
There were two different people named Huppim, no kidding!
3,200 people mentioned in the bible, 
These are the absolute worst two names without rival,
No major stories or lessons,
Miracles, sins, or transgressions,
Here's a crazy theory,
Take a second and hear me,
Maybe Cain and Able's a fable,
And they somehow turned the tables,
People lived hundreds of years, maybe they just changed their labels,
And weren't killed and banished for their confession,
But we're the world's first example of witness protection,
Seriously, why were they listed?  How did their names pass the edit?
Got to give their parents (Benjamin and Rachel) much credit,
For the worst names in history, I'll certainly never forget it!
