a/n: a 60 word poem based on "The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier".

Holmes investigates and narrates a case on his own.

Holmes and companions do not belong to me.


Undeniable


A welcome opportunity,

(Since Watson's sadly wed)

To exercise my expertise

With narrative instead.

My erstwhile close companion

Will clearly understand

Why wild romantic flourishes

Aren't needed by "The Strand"...

~0~

...my tale is almost finished;

I'm far from satisfied

Without that sense of wonder,

Which was always at my side.

~0~

The value of a Boswell's touch;

Alas, can't be denied.
