Sherlock Clerihews

[scfrankles]

Greg Lestrade

Is the pick of the Yard.

Grey hair doesn’t make him look old.

Silver is gold.





Doctor John H. Watson

Honeymooned in the hot sun.

I like his wife Mary

But your mileage may vary.





Sherlock Holmes

Has superb chromosomes.

But he won’t pass on his mind.

He’s not the marrying kind.





Mary Morstan

Set her phaser for stun.

Her aim was selective.

Or we’d be down one detective.





Mrs Hudson

Is always such good fun.

And now we’ve discovered

She once danced uncovered.





Mycroft

Isn’t getting soft.

He doesn’t go easy on his brother.

Remember what happened to the other…





Charles Augustus Magnussen

Has a name that’s very difficult to rhyme with.

He could only be stopped with a gun.

In a sense he still won.

Thanks ^^ I've found another minimalist form to embrace.

You certainly have...

The clerihew
So clearly suits you.
With word as with letter;
The fewer the better.

Oh, that's brilliant! ^_^ (Wish I'd thought of it...) (^^)
