Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper lived in London

Late in the 1880’s.

He was known throughout the land

As the killer of scarlet ladies.

He roamed the streets in dead of night

Giving harlots such a fright

Before they died beneath his knife.

Catherine Eddowes, “Long Liz” Stride

Many others also died

When they met with Jack the Ripper.

Jack the Ripper, Jack the Ripper

With his knife so sharp.

Had a touch more delicate

Than one who plays the harp.

Who is he, this mastermind?

It won’t be known for the rest of time.
