jake was an unlucky man
Jake was an unlucky man
Three of his wives had been murdered
Not at the same time of course
One in Georgia in 1972
One in Alabama in 1975
One in New Mexico in 1979
He collected lots of insurance money
They had all been heavily insured
So that was lucky
This was before the FBI and police officers were online
Before people and police stations had computers.
He might get caught if he tries to do it now.
I think of this when I see Jake
An unlucky man
Who has lost three wives through murder.
Could this really be a coincidence?
