    Beware Beware
    The deadly lair
    Of
    The miscreant of Mitre Square!
    Or

      Beside my knife, so sharp and cool
      A piece of chilly chalk I feel
      Perhaps that is a nice, fine tool
      With which a funny joke to deal

      I rush along, through street and lane
      A piece of clotted cloth I hold
      Cut off of her, the whore just slain
      For something silly that she told

      Inside a door, so moist and dark
      The place for funny pun to play
      I want to do this on a lark
      But find no stupid word to say
      -
      So I just drop the relic rag
      And get the hell away!

        Sam, if we just had some kind of prize we could award for your effort we would. Also, Jon Guy's poem in post 5 is a favorite of mine.

        I revised this one a little.

        Upon the Night

        Upon the night Jack was espied
        It was the night two women died
        The fiirst he cut her, Lizzie Stride
        And then so quiet a pony shied

        An evil surging all through him
        The syph a’sucking at his vim
        The vile man goes out on a limb
        And searches by the city rim

        Sweet Catherine upon the Square
        He’s evil dear, please be aware
        But no, he hacks her up right there
        And then heads back unto his lair

        He pulls up by the public bath
        And writes The Jews will have the wrath
        The dark cloaks down now round his path
        But the dear ones souls we know God hath.

          Thanks, Roy - but I just realised I was missing a couplet from each verse. Here's a new version y'all can sing along with...

          THE LITTLE(CHILD) LIST SONG (Version 2.0)

          If someday it should happen that a suspect must be found
          I've got a little list, I've got a little list
          Of American malfeasants who are often leather-bound:
          The mad self-flagellist, the sadomasochist.
          The type of man who dresses up in women's underwear,
          Who tucks his thing between his thighs, pretending it's not there.
          The sort who boasts of conquests, but who never conquered aught,
          Who chases after women, but who’d rather not get caught,
          And who, confronted with some shag, would rather do the twist -
          I've got 'im on the list, I've got 'im on the list.

          There's the sort who'd wax satyrical his handlebar moustache,
          The dandy facialist - I've got him on my list;
          The guy who hangs out with the boys and showers them with cash,
          He never will be missed, he never will be missed.
          The advertising quack who bores with tales of countless cures,
          The sort who likes to tie you up, and jab your skin with skewers;
          The type of man who’d thank you if you spanked him on the bum,
          Who’d rather like the Navy - if it wasn’t for the rum.
          And he who, clapped in manacles, would slip one off the wrist -
          That randy herbalist, I've got 'im on the list.

          There's the man who pickles matrices and keeps them in a jar,
          The hysterectomist - I've got 'im on the list;
          He may have done a moonlight flit, but won't get very far,
          That escapologist - he'll not for long be missed.
          For I have put upon his tail a colleague from the Yard,
          Who'll not fail to re-arrest him; well, it surely can't be hard!
          He'll chase him over continents, and make his life a Hell
          Then he'd take him to the station, where we’d bang him in a cell -
          And if we don't, he'll not evade the ripperologist
          Who simply can't resist to keep him on the list.

            Batchelor was his aide de camp
            They went looking for the scamp
            Hired a hansom, plucked a stem
            Always searching just for him

            Next he threatened Bombatard
            Landing him in prison yard
            Chinese whispers in the gaol
            Pegged Le Grand the man from Hell

              Then comes poor old Robert Mann
              Spent his life in Oakum Land
              Hey! the gent who penned the porn
              Just one hundred copies born

              Cops in Gotham on the case
              Daggers from Inspector Race
              Sip a milk while changing clothes
              Pimp a boatload full of Joes

                    Jack the Ripper
                    Is the bane of Scotland Yard,
                    All the Bobbies too
                    For though they seek him here,
                    And seek him there,
                    When an unfortunate is dead,
                    Jack the Ripper's never found!

                      His name was Toppy
                      It's clear as mud
                      Right outta Baghdad
                      He hopped a Scud

                      Turn left at Sydney
                      Then on to Perth
                      There's just one Toppy

                        There once was a man named Barrett
                        Whos nose was as long as a ferret
                        He said I found Jack!
                        Then took it all back
                        And flew away on a giant green parrot
                        "Is all that we see or seem
                        but a dream within a dream?"

                        quite tallies with the descriptions I got of him."

                            thanks Sam
                            I like ferret-it has a weasly connotation. carrot for a nose implies more of a snowman, though he did do a snow job on everyone. lol

                              Question of Identity

                              One hundred years and thirty plus,
                              Jack's name is unknown but not his deeds.
                              Bloody, bloody Ripper,
                              Where ever he wandered,
                              His moniker was left behind.

                              Crazy Jew, shady Slav,
                              Leather Apron,
                              Upholstery ripper,
                              Butcher, Carman,
                              Sailor, Doctor,
                              Shady Yank,
                              Prince of Wales,
                              Author, Artist,
                              Mad poet saint.

                              Cast your eye over the Earth,
                              Unknown Jack has left his mark
                              In bodies of flesh and blood.
                              Alas, we will never know,
                              Whose identity the Fiend wore.

                                It was written once white upon black
                                that Jews were on the attack,
                                But when faced with the truth
                                it was deemed too uncouth,
                                And Ripperology is forever setback.
