Author's Note: Dedicated to the amazing Ruby Casablanca, author of 'Nursery Rhymes - Sherlock Style!'. I tried to follow the same meter as the song. Thanks for your lovely rhymes, I adore them!
He was up on the roof, winds billowed his long coat
Looking down at the tall stretch of height
He phoned his flatmate, sending him his one last note
And his voice was so shaky and tight
Kitty Riley was right
All his crimes had come to light
Sherlock Holmes was a fraud after all
And he stopped, jumped,
Never was seen again, since that fatal fall
His heart had stopped hammering
Tick-tock, tick-tock
His mind was still functioning
Tick-tock, tick-tock
He stopped, jumped
Never was seen again, since that fatal fall
He was down on the ground, clambered out of the cab
With his phone pressed firmly on his ear
John was so shocked that he forgot to pay his tab
As he was stricken with deadly fear
It cannot be pretence
None of it made any sense
But the line that they shared cut mid-call
And he stopped, jumped
Never was seen again, since that fatal fall
His heart had stopped hammering
Tick-tock, tick-tock
His mind was still functioning
Tick-tock, tick-tock
He stopped, jumped
Never was seen again, since that fatal fall
He was down by the grave, but what John didn't know
Sherlock was standing there by his side
Through his veins and his heart, did the blood of his still flow
While his blogging flatmate mourned and cried
But the time will be ripe
When the blogger, he will type
"Sherlock Holmes, my best friend, is not dead!"
He stopped, tapped
Never to stop again, of the life they led
