White Chapel

With instruments of perfection, medically speaking
He made his way through the darkened streets
Hiding in corners and alleys, so lurking
Killing the women, he longed there, to meet

The nights, they were dangerous, in that part of town
White Chapel, a place of hideous crimes
Where women were cut and pieces were missing
Horror filled nights in Jack the Rippers time

This made me shiver. I still do not like to walk alone in the dark in case someone is lurking in corners. God Bless Phyl
