  • Cross??..I'm bloody fuming!

    Logging in on here, lookin' up "Lechmere"
    wonderin' if the bugger wrote "Dear Boss"
    didn't have a clue that an alias or two
    had thrown me, and crikey I was Cross!

    Pickfords carters, royal non starters,
    painters? ...Lowry matchsticks in a line
    threw him in the mix, but despite some clever tricks
    couldn't sort it...(He was age 1 at the time)

    To an fro I flit, its a load of Isenschmid
    I think I really ought to Packer tin
    but in I log again, end up thinkin' to Mizen..
    "Sickert knew it so he DRUITT!!!"...

    once again

      There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

            Time to dust this one off again!

            I am the very devle of a homicidal criminal
            In leaving clues and billets-doux and messages subliminal.
            Some people think that I was born an heir to Crown Imperial
            Or that I am a surgeon, quack or other such material;
            Some swear I am an escapee from Bedlam or The Priory
            Or claim I write confessions in a flirty, dirty diary;
            And theorists who swear I am a madman from the milit'ry
            And seek my where- and there-abouts with tactics dull and dilat'ry.
            Despite all that I use my knife with cunning and impunity
            And mystify the Law as if I have a strange immunity.
            In short, by sending billets-doux and messages subliminal,
            I am the very devle of a homicidal criminal!

            I'm not averse to writing verse and punning, purple prosody
            Or taunting vigilantes with a poison-penned ferocity,
            Al-fresco amputations carried out with gay frivolity
            And posting off the offal with a letter just for jollity.
            I scoff at those who think that I'm incorrigibly dastardly
            Or that I wear an apron with my trouser-leg half-mastedly,
            Or that I am a sinner with a penchant for idolatry -
            In truth such vices as I have are secretive and solit'ry.
            I trip the dark fantastic with phenomenal celerity
            Engage in deathly dances with a terrible temerity
            And so, by leaving billets-doux and messages subliminal
            I am the very devle of a homicidal criminal!

            I'm held by sleuthing amateurs to be one of the Peerage,
            Or yet a merchant seaman come from Lisbon stowed in steerage,
            Or that I am a rotten cotton-merchant down from Battlecrease,
            Or even Lewis Carroll - if I were, then Wonders never cease!
            Some say I am a barber from some harbour on the Vistula,
            Or that I am a painter with a dainty little fistula,
            A transatlantic actor with a dual personality,
            Or suicidal barrister of dubious morality.
            The fact that I was none of those is quite self-evidentiary
            And who I was, you shall not know for yet another century
            Because, in truth, I left no proof or messages subliminal
            I shall remain the devle of a homicidal criminal!
            Kind regards, Sam Flynn

                    Rhyme might work where reason has failed.
