Sherlock Holmes

When Holmes ejaculated,
'It doesn't take a brilliant detective
to identify many of the people
on this planet are damaged or defective,'
Dr. Watson was heard to observe,
'Never a truer word spoken.
Most we meet, at 221B Baker street,
are utterly, if not completely, broken.
Psychologists reason, 'Conditioning's the cause
for them to follow such absurd routines,'
but it's my considered and confirmed belief,
insanity

The Craving

As a boy Charles fished on the Thames riverside
He had a songbird, a dog, but life took a slide
His father got him a dead-end job in a Scottish town
It became a vortex bringing him down.

He got married young, soon nine kids to feed
His job barely paid; how could he get freed?
He illustrated books, still not

The Curious Case Of Lady Adler

The charming Lady Adler Irene;
Was strangely nowhere to be seen;
As revealed by this clear blanked out scene;  
Where those who knew her said she'd been,
Where oft she did appear.  


That splendid genius Sherlock Holmes;
For whom no mystery stayed unsolved;
Took up the case within a beat; 
As it transpired this curious feat,
Involved his very

Sherlock

I went to my mailbox and was in shock,
There was a mysterious letter in there.
It was from a person named Sherlock,
My nerves on edge, I fiddled my hair.

Its arrival was from across the pond. 
I thought to myself “Why little ole me?”
My inner voice was quick to respond
“ Send it back.” Was her honest plea.”

distant wolves sniff at the winds,
sense what you do not.
your death hums in the air!
pings run through your heart
to raise a berm of hair!
Baskerville hounds now shift
from lope to lunge. 
their thirst for blood has come!
rapacious tongues make clear
your death is in their mouths!

Ok Sherlock Friendly Computer

Of all the absurdities in this our current
tumultuous mixed up times

So many of which it would take
a lifetime to mention but a few

Given that right here on this very
planet we are resident on today

There are at any given point a billion 
plus living human beings in over 100
plus countries who speak a variety of
differing dialects

A Conversation With Sherlock Holmes

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Holmes, I am enormously elated,
how it all started, may I ask, though somewhat belated.”
“I was working silently solving intricate murder cases,
until Conan Doyle picked me up from many sleuth faces,
narrated my exploits in words of my friend, Dr. Watson,
and since then the limelight upon me was always on”.

“You had been

A Conversation With Sherlock Holmes

“Holmes, what is the secret of your glory, 
What keeps us thrilled and rapt right to the end?”

“The hook of a swell detective story -
Quite elementary, my modern friend."


“Your methods by deduction, I must tell,
Earned you renown for the most brilliant mind.”

“Crime is common, logic rare, so I dwell 
On hidden clues, the suspects leave

Millionaire, Bartholomew Fairfax
Admitted today, he ‘forgot’ to pay tax

Goodness gracious, well I never
Knock me over with a feather
Who’d have thought it
Pull the other one

And this from his latest press release
The girl on his arm was not his niece

You’re kidding, no way
No sh1t Sherlock, you don’t say

Murder Afoot At 221 Baker Street

Sherlock and Watson looked at the woman with blank expressions
What they had were some totally unique impressions
Watson was looking at her, thinking what a poor little thing
Sherlock was wishing the 221 Baker Street bell still did not ring

Her story was not sound in any sort of way to Sherlock who was not fooled.
Watson was ready

Sherlock Holmes and the Mysterious Case of Appundicitis

A double sonnet in which the great detective and his faithful sidekick, Dr. Watson, alternately deduce the cause of Sherlock’s latest malady…

Part the first
Sherlock could not deduce his source of pain
at first. “Try as I might, I cannot find
the cause – is it contusion, or a sprain?
Perchance a mere psychosis of the mind?

“Yet by deduction,

Sherlock

Watson was a good man. 
He stood by his friend, regardless of what happened. 
Sherlock was a good man also. 
Consumed by his intellect, lost in his own thoughts. 
Together they were unstoppable. 

The lesson is elementary. 
Together we are stronger then apart. 
We are greater as a whole then in pieces.

Super Sherlock

He's such an excellent sleuth
and will uncover the truth
his detection skills truly are ace!

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
