Elementary Exploits
Cleaning ash at Two Twenty One B
Sweated my friend Sherlock Holmes and me.
Him: “The game is afoot”
His face covered in soot
We dashed off after Moriarty!
Just a crime scene, just another night
Though Scotland Yarders laughed at our sight
Done being a joke’s butt
Holmes loudly asked what’s what?
“A black face, but you love powder white!”
