Rise of the Ripper 3


Is it nature or nurture
This Larry wants to know
As a genetic researcher
His life has taken a blow
Could he be related
To the beast of Whitechapel
Is his life ill-fated
Something which he must grapple
His ghostly grandparents say it’s true
As a researcher what can Larry do
The family gene he must eliminate
Is it genes or love or hate
Why did Jack do what he did
Was it desire or for a quid
Find out on the seventh of November
If he’s related to Jack, who liked to dismember
I hope you like it, cos it’s a gripper
Things you didn’t know in Rise of the Ripper.

i had to continue to this segment Mandy. I spoke about genes in my comment in your last segment and what do you know - you mention it in this. Maybe some play write will discover you. Maria Ps I may do another scary one before the end of the month.
