Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper, As a savage nipper, Possibly slashed his toys, And didn’t play with other boys. Jack the Ripper May have liked kipper, But he ate a kidney one day - Or, at least, so people often say. For Andrea's Show me the Funny contest, Part Two Originally for PD’s clerihew contest
