In Florida's heat, a crime did unfold,
A 14-year-old boy, with a heart so cold.
Mark Gordon was his name, and rape his crime,
A sentence of 40 years, for a life so unkind.
He broke into a house, with a stocking on his face,
Armed with a knife and clippers, in a most wicked place.
He demanded the woman, to undress with a grin,
And orally raped her, with a heart that gave in.
He held her for four hours, against her will so strong,
A young boy, with a heart that didn't belong.
He was sentenced to 40 years, but served just 22,
A life of crime, with no end in view.
Years went by, and he moved to London's shore,
With Constance Marten, his partner, forever more.
They had a baby, Victoria, so sweet and so fair,
But their love was a lie, with a heart that didn't care.
Their baby was found, in a shopping bag so tight,
In a shed in Brighton, with a body so bright.
They denied the charges, with a heart so bold,
But the evidence was clear, their love had grown cold.
The jury heard the details, of Gordon's past so dark,
And how he manipulated, with a heart so stark.
He represented himself, with a voice so so bold,
But the truth was clear, his heart was made of cold.
His partner Constance, with a family so rich and grand,
Hired private investigators, to watch them in hand.
They took photos and notes, with a keen eye so bright,
But the couple's love, was a lie, a heart so not in sight.
The retrial will continue, on Monday so bright,
With a jury so wise, and a heart so in sight.
They will hear the evidence, with a voice so so clear,
And justice will be served, without a single fear.
