London 1888


Jack was nimble
Jack was quick
Jack snuffed out life's candlestick
he cut like a knife
no one's wife
but women of the night
he left a grisly sight
the streets of London were his killing fields
to death's sharp edge some one yields 
and the Ripper ripped
while aristocrats sipped
from glasses of champagne
and Jack achieved immortal fame.


-A poem about the world's first
 vastly publicized serial killer
 Jack the Ripper
 who terrorized the streets of London
 in 1888.
