At the Jack The Ripper-museumA Poem by OscarMannSo first they wanted to honour The honourful women of the East End But then they came to think to what end? And would that mean that money’s well spent?
And then they kind of changed their shift And ended up with a serial killer They promised us all killer, no filler Replacing strong women for a Victorian thriller
So now I wander in Jack’s museum And no Suffragette is to be seen The only women that ended up there Murdered they have been
And now they’re proud and quite content To see their money’s so well spent The only thing they have to do Is see that you spend money too
So get yourself a bloody souvenir A mug that’d make Jack proud And if you find it of bad taste Ye honourful women, please, do get out. © 2015 OscarMann |
