Rating: PG for some grimness
Author's Notes: Better late than never!

Doctor Verner
Had cash to burn-er.
Can you imagine Watson's dismay
To find he'd sold his practice to a Vernet?

John McFarlane
Required no cane,
Perceived a shyster who would kill
A man for an unwitnessed will.

Jonas Oldacre,
Mover and shaker,
He built and hid within a secret room,
To vex his ex by sealing her son's doom.

Scotland Yard
Found it hard
To see beyond Oldacre's clues
Even detectives get the blues.

Britain's birds,
Were heard,
Crowing the sentence Oldacre had gotten-
The cat in the bird cage was never forgotten.

And just for fun...

Holmes said “rabbit”
Out of habit,
To hide his conclusion that those blackened bones
Were all that remained of J. Oldacre's clones.

Had no need for an undertaker.

Not until after his trial.

Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Dancing Men"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

This Sunday, 16th March, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Dancing Men. What is the explanation behind these "absurd little figures"..?

If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story based on it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.

We also offer a second challenge: pick a character from ACD’s story and write a clerihew about them. You can choose to write a 60 and a clerihew, or you can do one or the other. (There's further information about posting on our profile.) Or you can just take part in the weekly discussion. All options are absolutely fine!

Hope to see you on Sunday ^^
