I'm not cutout for these...

Jack the Ripper was a well known cutter    
(that should read infamous but it don't fit,    
or Christian Barnard, I heard mutter,    
" damn, this heart's too big, I'll shave off a bit."    
     
And there's been lots of footpads and cutthroats      
wielding bludgeons, saps and straight-edge-razors,    
from Lands-End to way, way, past John-o-Groats      
now roads are boring but, a bit safer?  
     
So, those are things I'm not cutout to be    
and my diction will never be cut-glass,    
raising me higher than cute little me    
the worker, to that leisured idle class...  
     
I've a cut-price cutlet, for lunch, to grill,  
Cutting corners on costs, my greatest thrill?
