SUPER SLEUTH Inspired by Sherlock TV Series starring Benedict Cumberbatch

Updated: Jul 28, 2020

Sherlock of infamous Baker Street's renown

The super sleuth with Dr Watson at his side

Called to action when police force baffled

By the evil deeds of robbers killers

And those seriously deranged of mind

Digging through evidence to see crime spillers

Combing through in the light of day and dead of night

Tracing back their steps weedling out

Their ways of craftiness and carelessness

The obvious and hidden clues

Cunning like a fox

Only Sherlock can deduce

The essence of their source

To discern those who committed these heinous acts

Fathoming out the why's and wherefore's

Of the perpetrators motives grudges and greed

The purpose of their madness or revenge

Whilst all the while Moriarty is plotting to obliterate him

His megalomaniac's machiavellian insanity

His over bearing undermining brother Mycroft

His disdainful mocking of Sherlock's genius

Perhaps even autistic ways yet

He gloatingly never had anything kind to say


When exhausted retreating to his den

Mrs Hudson clucks around him like a harried hen

Serving tea and biscuits like a surrogate mother

Providing him with unnoticed yet unconditional

Love and her contribution of zen

Watson peering and worrying

Can he keep up with a mind in another sphere

That has absorbed facts statistics and information

In an ever expanding myriad of topics so revered

On a with par De Vinci, Tesler Voltaire Galileo Einstein

Their reputations you could admire never smear

They are the few that can closely compare

To his incisive lateral thinking brain

Which had the world powers flocking

For his ever curious expanding comprehensive archives

Of all that can help solve any and every crime


So the world of mystery is extremely fortunate

To have this detective's omnipotent grasp

On everything and everyone

That steps out of line

Bringing them to justice

For which their dubious decisions

Have played out behind bars

Their bad ways forever apprehended

For long lonely desperate stretches forcibly imprisoned
