The Greek Interpreter: Clerihews

Canon Story: The Greek Interpreter
Title: Seemings
Author: mundungus42
Rating: G

Dr. Watson
Must've thought some
Before he penned Hellenic themes;
Which must be more than what they seem.

Mycroft Holmes
Made no bones
In nearly causing a sticky end
For Melas, who had seemed to be his friend.

Paul Kratides
Seemed a sweetie
In a lousy situation
Starved then killed by suffocation.

Wilson Kemp
Deserved contempt
For helping to deceive a lady
With methods violent and shady.

Harold Latimer
Part-time kidnapper,
His romance started out with chemistry,
And ended up in violent Sophistry.

Dearest Sophy
Seemed a trophy
And if she'd been, as she deserved, adored
She needn't have relied upon her sword.

Mr. Melas
Did not tell us
Everything Kratides said,
Perhaps explaining why Paul's dead.

Thanks for this enjoyable summary - Doyle would love it. The last one is particularly good.

I didn't mean for this to be a summary until I realized that I'd named all the major players except Sherlock himself. I'll try not to let my verbosity tax everybody's patience so much in the future, but I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!

Pretty please continue verbosising. It's both enjoyable and good writing.

You are taking the clerihews to new heights!

*giggles* Or to new lengths, at the very least :D I've just been lucky enough to have two canon stories in a row where I suspect more is going on than Watson's telling us.

Rather brilliant. :) I just adore the term "violent Sophistry".

Thank you so much! I had to slip at least one terrible pun in there.

I'd like to second the applause for "violent Sophistry" ^_^
