Clueless

From beyond the grave, I scoff

I've earned my place in history.

Such wicked deeds I carried off,

Yet still remain a mystery.

My hunting grounds were alleyways

Where I spent productive nights,

Plying my trade, my art, my skills,

Murder, and it's dark delights.

Never were you close to me,

Not a sign nor track.

You had no clue who I was,

So you all just called me Jack.
