I am not Jack The Ripper

I committed Crimes but not this one.

I am not Jack the Ripper for I have never stolen lives,

I have stolen money from your past wives,

I have robbed from the dead and left evidence plenty of times,

These trinkets I own are taken from the victims,

These small gifts I sell inspire me to be rich as Charles Dickens,

I sleep alone in the cemetery beside the crickets,

I found these items under the sand in a large box,

I was framed when my body was searched by the cops

They found many small items. a necklace, rings and a pocket watch,

I begged and pleaded with them claiming it was a plot,

It did not matter I was tossed in a cell to rot,

The world will never know I was not the one that killed your beloved daughter,

I was merely a poor man with a family that became a grave robber,

fact or fiction
