Authors Note: Anna Marie Hahn was an actual serial killer (I based my poem loosely on her name) Everything else was fictional for the fun in the rhyme

Anna Marie Hahn (born Filser; July 7, 1906 – December 7, 1938) was a German-born American serial killer. She murdered 5 elderly men from Cincinnati by poison between 1933 and 1937. She was convicted of murder and executed by electric chair in 1938.
