A City boy sent them a case,
So Sherlock and John went to face
Some smugglers who'd sprayed
Cryptic threats and mislaid
A jade pin that had vanished sans trace.
With evidence misrepresented,
The criminal gang that resented
Consulting detectives
Pursued their objectives
By kidnapping John: gaffe cemented.
For Sherlock not only was smart,
But steadfastly true to his heart;
And his heart was a man
With a uniform tan;
Truly, nothing could keep them apart.
A map book provided the clue,
And though Sherlock came overdue,
Nonetheless his support
Meant the thugs they could thwart;
The hairpin recovering too.
