[Douglas G. Brown]

Well, if this is where we're headed, here's a True Crime story of a notorious cannibalistic serial killer, boiled down to a grisly little sonnet.

How Jeffrey Dahmer loved those gay young men;
Male whores recruited from Milwaukee dives.
He’d bring them to his kitchen now and then
For escapades; the last ones of their lives.
With hands around the neck, he’d strangulate
( A drunken spree with Jeff was never dull )
Each youthful gay male hooker “dinner date”;
And later, Jeff would venerate his skull.

His permutation of the Atkins Diet
Was quite perverse, it cannot be denied;
An appetite that Jeffrey kept so quiet,
For human morsels, barbecued or fried.
One observation’s certain, you can bet;
Jeff Dahmer was exactly what he et.
