Sherlock and Watson

Sherlock Holmes was seen at the local bar
Spying while drinking and smoking cigars
Ready to break his crime case
And take down the shady place
While Watson safely waited in the car

Must be YOUNG Sherlock Holmes, as the old man smoked a pipe whilst Watson waited in the carriage…..but a timely limerick none the less! Aloha! Rico

Good one, Tania! Watson was smart to stay safely in the car and avoid the second-hand smoke. (Yummy Jude Law plays Watson in one of the movies.) Best wishes in the contest!
