A monopoly of names displaced, hey Jack!

A monopoly of names displaced, hey Jack!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Did the house that Jack built
have a mortgage?
Was it just another monopoly?
Maybe Mayfair!
Did he ever pass go?
Did he go to jail?
What happened to Jill
when she went up that hill?
Was it really water?
Was breaking his crown
just an alibi?
When he became
Jack the Ripper!

Poor Jack...couldn't trust Jill...shouldn't have turned his back. I think he took Reading Railroad and disappeared.

Well done, Andrew, I like the playfulness of this.
