the case of Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes
Is skin and bones
But has a brilliant mind
Which makes it hard
For Scotland yard
To fall so far behind.
"Why" They Grumble
"Did we not stumble
Quicker on this clue?
Even to us
It's obvious
When pointed out by you."
"You flatter me
But can't you see"
Says Sherlock with a yawn
"That only fools
Go by the rules
While I break every one.
And if you say
I should obey
Each petty regulation,
I do declare
What hope is there
For our glorious British nation?
You know you need
My skill. Agreed?
And I must have my amusement.
I pass the time
By solving crime
But how many hours have you spent
Trying to foil
With honest toil
Just one quite clever man
While in a flash
I cut a dash
Through every fool proof plan."
