Dec 6th prompt from W Y Traveller: Christmas at the Yard.
Christmas at the Yard
Calls demanding prompt attention,
Crimes too numerous to mention,
Lestrade in midst of rising tension;
Christmas at the Yard.

Hopkins stuck in Hyde Park snow drift,
Youths with snowballs given short shrift,
Joys of long December day shift;
Christmas at the Yard.
~0~
Bradstreet sent to tradesmen brawling,
Icy roads with townsfolk sprawling,
Waning stock of patience falling;
Christmas at the Yard.
~0~
Berries fall off boughs of holly,
Drink leads on to further folly,
Season seems more grim than jolly;
Christmas at the Yard.
~0~
Hassled ladies overspending,
Vendors getting tired of vending,
Filing forms is never ending;
Christmas at the Yard.
~0~
Thieving vagabonds arrested,
Festive spirit sorely tested,
Bag of humbugs all ingested;
Christmas at the Yard.
