a/n:prompt from MyelleWhite: - Green...lots and lots and LOTS of green-
Holmes and companions do not belong to me
POV of a slightly ooc Watson (with an italicised bit from Holmes)
Green
A tree!
Dear Holmes, we need a tree!
A lovely sparkly Christmas tree!
I love this festive frippery;
Please help me find the perfect tree,
To decorate two two one B!
~o~
The sparkliest tree there's ever been,
The best that anyone has seen.
Two trees perhaps?
And lots of green.
Yes, lots and lots and LOTS of green.
~o~
There's holly, fir and mistletoe
(A plant I like to wait below;
Because, of course, you never know.)
I'd hang the green on every wall,
I'd decorate the stairs and hall,
And you could watch me do it all.
~o~
And then our friends could come and see
Our hanging greens and lovely tree,
While Mrs. Hudson made them tea.
And we sang carols merrily.
Oh, Holmes, I really want a tree!
Please come and find a tree
With me.
A perfect, sparkly Christmas tree!
~0~
Come tree,
Go tree,
Yes tree,
No tree.
~0~
You do not want a tree at all?
And nothing green upon the wall?
No holly in the hall
At all?
You hate this festive frippery,
And will not contemplate a tree?
No mistletoe,
To stand below?
(So now, of course, I'll never know.)
An empty hall,
An empty wall,
No tree, no sparkly tree at all?
I feel unfestive, sad and small.
(And let a little teardrop fall.)
~0~
No sparkly tree
For you and me.
I'll cope;
I am your friend, you see.
Good night, dear Holmes, I'm off to bed;
I'll dream of sparkly trees instead.
(And wipe away the tear I shed)
~o~
I do not want a tree; that's clear
I am not fond of Christmas cheer
But Watson is upset I fear
Was that?
Was that?
Was that a tear?
~O~
Good morning Holmes!
I'm out of bed.
I dreamt about my tree instead.
But...
Holmes!
What's this?
What's this I see?
We have a lovely, sparkly tree!
And green...
There's lots and LOTS of green!
More green than I have ever seen!
Green on the wall,
Green in the hall
You've hung the green, you've hung it all!
You do like Christmas after all!
You've even hung the mistletoe
(Which I'll wait hopefully below)
And, Holmes, the tree!
The sparkly tree,
It's just as perfect as can be!
And, look!
The angel on the tree;
Holds Gladstone bag and cane,
Like me!
