Author: ennui_enigma

Rating: G

Warnings: none

A/N: Poor Neville St. Claire. How is he going to support his family and the high standards of living they’re all used to now that he’s reduced to reporting again?

Job Wanted: Skilled make-up artist and actor looking for part-time work. Many years of real life experience. Specializing in facial disguises so perfect that they could fool even Scotland Yard! Knowledgeable in all the literature classics. Adept at plying my art in both stage and street productions. Able to tutor in journalism and reporting if desired. Prefer nights and weekends. 

Canon: The Man with the Twisted Lip: Twisted

A twisted profession as a poor man
A twisted existence as a rich man

A twisted story from an upset wife
A twisted inspection of his life

Clues in the pocket change, letter, and ring
Further info from blocks and clothing

Holmes and Watson with a sponge in hand
Disclosed the soiled reticent husband

Now life’s untwisted but way too bland!

(A/N: poem in honor of debriswoman who is the inspiration for any verse I've ever written)
