Dear boss, I keep on hearing |
|
that the police have caught me |
|
but they won't fix me just yet |
|
I have laughed |
|
when they looked so clever |
|
and talk about being |
|
on the right track |
|
That joke about leather apron |
|
gave me real fits |
|
I am down on whores |
|
and I shan't quit ripping them |
|
till I do get buckled |
|
grand work the last job was |
|
I have the lady no time to squeal |
|
And I want to start again |
|
you will soon learn of me |
|
with my funny little games |
|
I saved some of the proper red stuff |
|
in a ginger beer bottle over the last job |
|
To write with but it went thick |
|
like glue |
|
and I can't use it |
|
Red ink is fit enough I hope |
|
ha ha |
|
the next job I do |
|
I shall clip the ladies ears off |
|
and send them to police officers |
|
just for jolly |
|
Wouldn't you? |
|
Keep this letter back |
|
till I do a bit more work |
|
then give it out straight |
|
my knives so nice and sharp |
|
I want to get back to work right away |
|
if I get a chance |
|
Good luck! |
|
Yours truly, |
|
Jack the Ripper |

Don't mind me given the trade name |
