Yellow fog
It spots and it stains
Yellow fog
It oozes and drains
Yellow fog
It stains and it spots
Yellow fog
It marks and it blots
Yellow fog
It spots and it stinks
Like chamber pots
and kitchen sinks
Yellow fog
It hides and it slides
Yellow fog
Such a crime, how the grime, leaves behind
its dreary fingerprint!

As indeed it did. Nice one!

Thank you!

Appropriately horrid:-p

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Yes, sounds most unpleasant.

You've churned the stomach nicely, madam ^__^ And I do like those last two lines especially ^_^

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Not the kind of fingerprints Holmes likes to investigate.

Another "Great Minds Think Alike" moment!

Yes, if it's gross enough to keep Holmes indoors with his scrapbooks, it's pretty gross.

See, if only Holmes would turn his mind to crimes against housekeeping, he'd be well-occupied for life!

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely. He'd have to replace Watson with Mrs. Beaton, though.

Perhaps Watson could serve a short apprenticeship with Mrs. Beeton? Or perhaps Mrs. Hudson would agree to act as a consulting housekeeper.
