This almost awakens my memory of Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte. I remember I liked it, and I remember it had a good reveal at the end, but I just can't remember it...but this poem gives me a clue.

Ooh I like it. I remember that movie. Did you see, Whatever happened to baby Jane? At least I think that's what it was called

Hi Tom. Thanks! Yes, I saw Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (working on a little ditty about it :) ) I like psychological thrillers (not slashers). Hag Horror, I think it was called back then. LOL :)
