Jack the Ripper
lost his slipper
in a pool of harlot’s blood.
It seemed a flood

so Jack did flee
as far as the sea
but the sea threw him back.
He felt the lack

but his soul did sing
his heart did ring
to know his knife was bright
and ready for the night.

His victims were five
not enough for a hive
but the crimson honey he sought
could not be bought

so Jack grew sad
until he went mad
and fell upon his shining knife
and made it his wife.
