a/n: inspired by a paragraph in "Wisteria Lodge", when Watson is content to wait patiently for Holmes to work things out.
Another Welsh poetry form so this one is for AdidasandPie:-)
A cyhydedd hir
Holmes and companions do not belong to me.
POV of Watson.
The duties of a Boswell 2
There's a certain skill,
Now I know Holmes well,
In remaining still
To share his sport.
I do not distract,
Now I've learned the knack;
He will not react
While deep in thought.

When the game's afoot,
And the scent is hot,
I stand aside, but
I note his track.
And in every case,
My most vital use
Is to take my place
And watch his back.
