Rating: G
Warnings: none
Note: I've never been one compose in verse so I have no idea how I ended up with this 60 word poem. Just a bunch of random thoughts strung together with a little rhyme.

A heartbroken debonair now dead

A Spanish lady without chagrin

A secret novel that lay unread

An unusual offer to buy

House and all contents lying within

With massive boxer spying nearby

Just a burglary the inspector said

But Holmes and Watson knew other clues swirled

Although the wedding would go ahead

At Least Holmes’ client could see the world

Whoa! Massive piece of work, I say!

thanks for the encouragement! Glad you liked it. There were so many great quotes in this case. I just ended up summarizing it.

Still, if anyone is looking for a prompt on this one, I'd love to see something based on this line: "But there are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them."
LOL! So true - even today :D

Bwahaha, yes, a wonderful line! The great minds would have nothing to be fascinated by, the mediocre minds would have no amusement, and the small minds nothing to hackle about.

Wow, a poem! Unexpected and terrific. I like the rhyme scheme of it and the nice compact way it tells the story. Very cool!

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Something different and new for me. seemed to summarize the case a bit more succinctly than any prose.

This is so cool! I have no gift for poetry myself, much less any hope of being able to craft a synopsis in verse. Well done!

[ennui-enigma.livejournal.com]

well, i claim no gift for poetry either. never tried writing such before. i 'blame' it on the talented debriswoman (mrspencil FF) and her Holmesian verse. i think i've been reading enough of it recently such that it overflowed and influenced my writing :P
