" Jane Toppan was born in Massachusetts in 1857. She attended the Cambridge Nursing School, and established a successful private nursing career in Boston. Said to be cheerful, funny and excellent with her patients, nothing about “Jolly Jane” suggested she could be “the most notorious woman poisoner of modern times.” "
Summary from Criminal's website.
“Poor them!” Jane felt she aided her prey she confessed
Warped head, unstable, disabled, got cradled in bed,
force fed the fey to fade all their pain dulled to rest
Sure end, fatally playfully taken their breath.
Court sketch gave her the label,“The Angel Of Death”
A hilarious and personable death guide planner,
Jane, nefarious, surely had a most memorable bedside manner!
...
Taunton Lunatic Asylum for psychotic patients,
Toppan, “Jolly” Jane, do not mistake her commonplace
calm plainness and arthritic age as innocuous/safe,
She's got insane deadly habits, Devil's advocate, God she played
caught and contained off at the Cape Cod estate offing the Davis'
Inoculation authored graves, her knowledge gained at college (Cambridge)
odd experimentation's macabre engagements
certainly implied her certifiable state and the state denied nurse certification
...
The horror born Honora Kelley to an alcoholic father
“Kelley The Crack” pot, wack-job, I had jotted “may be the fodder”,
A tailor, the tale goes: “tried to sew his eyelids closed, lost it”
lost mother to the illness she's fraught with despite that she fought it
with no support the kids went to an orphanage, impoverished
Honora and sis boarded with top-end Toppans, fostered
The Toppans renamed her “Jane” to emulate a favorite Aunt and
she started embracing darkness regardless of shed hardships
“Poor them!” Jane felt she aided her prey she confessed
Warped head, unstable, disabled, got cradled in bed,
force fed the fey to fade all their pain dulled to rest
Sure end, fatally playfully taken their breath.

As her alias implies, Jane was jovial,
Alas, the ailed lass applied a mask of joking tones,
observe morbid roller-coasters
swerve horrid overdoses
serve morphine comatose
rapidly Atrophine stoked its host
tragically atrophy folk to ghosts
as she would happily hold them close
Kiss them and dismiss them,
finished as they finished,
indicative of her sickness
she admitted it once admitted:
she came during their exits!
came highly recommended,
surprising one reference read,
“Jane sat by to the bitter end”
some Missus Hyde sits inside edits questionable ethics
a syringe for scythe elicited/incited vile deadly injections
whenever questioned Jane claims empathetic intentions,
signifies her murderous head sick ill-advised mercy subjective

...
She wonders why the undesired come to eye her
“I yearn to learn why your ire is what I earn?”
Justified snuffing beloved lives stuffed inside urns,
sometimes shrugs opining:
she must'n't have got her dire number right,
adjusts it higher admiringly judges her “fine work”
a writhing cuddled hundred drugged to die and smirks.
