Time for another Canon story to be told through haikus. I have to say, this is fun!


What! Holmes is dying?

Why didn't you come sooner?

Quick! To Baker Street!


"Let me help you, Holmes."

"I'm afraid you can't, Watson."

"I won't believe that!"


What is he saying?

"Please bring me Culverton Smith.

I trust only him."


"What do I do now?"

His answer confuses me.

"Hide behind the bed."


The truth stops my heart.

Culverton Smith poisoned Holmes...

I want to kill him.


"What can I get you?"

"A match and a cigarette."

"It was a mere trick!"


Why didn't I know?

How could he use me like that?

I thought we were friends.


I promise Watson,

never to do that again.

I give you my word.
