A/N:Hades' December challenge
25th Dec Prompt from Wordwielder: The Irregulars have an adventure.
Adventure
A deal!
We shook hands after talking it through;
We knew what the stakes were and what we must do.
Not one of us faltered, nor failed to agree;
Young Arthur, and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
We waited till evening to head to the park,
Less chance of them spotting us long after dark.
Wrapped up for the weather, we strode silently;
Young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
White snowflakes in moonlight were swirling around,
Our foot prints left patterns on thickly iced ground.
We all stayed alert, as alert as could be;
Young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
We reached the planned site and began to prepare;
Advanced snow construction seemed perfectly fair.
We could see as the moonlight shone down helpfully;
Young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
Two strenuous hours and our building was done,
With much stifled laughter and frost-edged good fun.
Then back through the park we returned merrily;
Young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
Wiggins took Arthur back home to his bed,
And Rosie walked home at my side, sleepyhead.
Her great aunt was waiting for news, eagerly,
Of young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
A late urgent visit, my false alibi
To even the odds before snow missiles fly.
A contest between Holmes' hand-picked team of three
And young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
We had simply endeavoured to even the score,
I knew all to well what dear Holmes had in store;
I'd glimpsed secret blueprints, advance weaponry
Against young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
Next morning, dear Holmes, and his three Yarders too,
Met their quite unexpected snow fort Waterloo.
Resistance was useless, the snowballs flew free
From young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
~0~
Our triumph acknowledged, we turned weary feet
Away from the park and along Baker Street,
Where Holmes and his team would prepare a fine tea
For young Arthur and Wiggins and Rosie and me.
