The wreck of Shipman
Read all about it.Read all about it,Shipman is dead,
Like deadly diamorphine through his victims ,the news quickly spread.
Tying a bed sheet to a bar in his prison cell,
Hanged himself,cheating his sentence,no more to tell.
Trusted by his patients mainly old and needy,
What made him do it?Was he "death" greedy?
A glutton for killing, enjoying the power,
Devouring his own life in his final hour.
The multi-murderer of Todmorden and Hyde,
Brought joy to the morgue as he took his last ride.
May the wrath of hell rot you and bring back peace,
Let the grief around your victims gently decrease.

A fitting epitaph for one who took life without mercy when the GPs of my youth probably used that as the best possible reason.
