Surelocked Holmes

sherlock holmes thinking
was not sheer luck on his part
it was a program

written to deduce
to rule out all possibles
then what's left is truth

what if nothings left
an algorithm won't help
enter the author's

imagination
and holmes ignorance is named 
moriarity

It sher wasn't luck. He was a master thinker. Always was a bit jealous of Arthur Conan Doyle's brilliance. Nicely done! Season's best. ~ Gershon

thanks for the comment Michael...my intention was to let 'moriarity' imply death...as in 'mortuarity'?
