SHERLOCKED
Let's take a second
To realise
Just why we are all here.
What fantastic man
And his brilliant mind
Brought us all so near.
Through words alone,
He stupefies
All those looking in his direction.
We love the man
With curly hair
And the science of seduction.
It all began
In a quiet lab
When our two heroes met.
A brilliant friendship
It started here.
One we will never forget.
A blog was started
Deductions were made
And together; a perfect pair.
Fandoms began.
Johnlock appeared.
Apparently, forbidden love was in the air.
Adventures continued.
Puzzles were solved.
And criminals put behind bars.
Science equipment
Was found in the kitchen.
Toes were found in jars...
Molly continued
To try and impress
But Sherlock just didn't see.
So she fell for a man
By the name of Jim.
In other words; James Moriarty.
A villain was created.
The perfect kind.
Perfect for Sherlock, that is.
Their intelligence matched.
Both were slightly insane.
Bravo to Moffat and Gatiss!
Mrs Hudson continued
To cook and to clean
And to bring Sherlock cups of tea.
She's not his housekeeper
She's just the landlord.
But she does it all voluntarily.
Throughout two whole series
We managed to deduce
Quite a lot from the quirky best friends.
Anderson's an idiot.
Watson likes wool
And can't keep a steady girlfriend.
We also learned
About the pair's relationship
And how they appear married, it seems.
Watson gets milk
But on the way home
Has a row with a chip and pin machine...
But don't forget Irene
The Woman with curves
Sherlock shows interest in her.
Guessing the password
To her special phone
Sherlock thinks he's on to a winner.
"Sherlocked" was created
And aren't we all?
And I'm afraid Irene is the creator.
The first Sherlockian.
The only woman Holmes likes.
That's the only reason we have to hate her.
But then things get tricky.
Lestrade gets a new case.
And only Sherlock can save the day.
He becomes famous.
His name becomes known.
And he appears on the Daily Mail's front page.
Things go well at first
He bathes in success
And continues, at length, to show off.
Presents and publicity
Of all different kinds.
But the ear-hat will never be forgot...
But then came the day
That all fan girls wept.
The day of the Reichenbach Fall.
An episode which
Brought tears to the eyes
When Sherlock made his last call.
His note. His message.
His final goodbyes.
He said them directly to John.
"Keep your eyes on me"
He said, with a tear.
And with one small jump, he was gone.
Viewers stopped
All holding their breath
Eating biscuits was now put on hold.
Eyes glued to the screens
Of their television sets
As the series finale was told.
Heartbreaking to watch
As John made his way over
To see his best friend lying dead.
Blood covered the pavement
He looked ghostly pale
Concrete had made contact with head.
It is then weeks later
And John in therapy
Grieving over his loss.
It's no lie when he says
Sherlock was a great man to many
He will not be easily forgot.
And then to the cemetery
The ending scene
To a series that makes us sigh.
A marble gravestone
Glistening new
For a man that was too young to die.
Sherlock's a fake.
John refuses to believe.
He tells this to the grave, quietly.
"I was so alone
And I owe you so much"
"But please can you just do one thing, for me?"
"Don't be dead" he begs.
And he tells him to stop it.
He looks mad to all passersby.
He doesn't believe
That Sherlock is dead.
His friend was too smart to just die.
And as a grieving John disappears
Out of the dreary cemetery
We see that man
With curly hair
Who had been watching from behind a tree.
So just when we thought
All was over and done
And Sherlock was gone for good.
We were given hope
By a Series 3
As we all wished the writers would.
Because Sherlock can't die
Not really, not to us.
Not when we all stick together.
Because as long as there's fandoms
And fan girls and websites
Us Sherlockians will live on forever.
