At the Jack The Ripper-museum

At the Jack The Ripper-museum

A Poem by OscarMann

So 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.
