A Study in Pink (Part 1)

by @RA21

Sherlock is indebted, forever; To Mike, For he made it possible for Holmes, To meet the (only) friend of his life. Oh look at John, How baffled he was, For he had just met a man, About him, who knew all. The army doctor thing, the Afghanistan war, And that his sibling was alcoholic, About this Sherlock was sure. Without a word about himself, Just the name and address, Holmes went away, Leaving John, with many questions, And their answers for him to guess. A queer flat mate, he was, a bit rude Sherlock, you know; Mrs. Hudson was nicer, But not their housekeeper! Apparently, SH would play violin to think, Knew it was DI Lestrade at the door, And there was another murder, Including this one, counting to four, Without a hint. The crime scene was sealed, Under supervision of Donovan, And according to Sherlock, There was something going on, Between her, And Anderson. A woman was dead, Wore everything in pink, Holmes deduced her marriage state, Just by her ring! He slammed the door at Anderson, For he (SH) found him irritating. “Rache is not for revenge”, Holmes said, “She was writing Rachel, obviously”. Left-handed she was, And was carrying a suitcase, But as Lestrade said, There was never a case. Mr. Holmes was so excited then, He teased others to be stupid, Watson helped him make a point, In order to find the criminal, But Holmes believed, The pink case was the cupid.

Notes

SH means Sherlock Holmes; I used it because he signs off that way.

Ah, this one is going to be very long... You see, I have covered only one-third of the episode, and it has already become so long. So, I have decided to write it in parts. Nobody likes to read long poems, eh?

Writing this, I realized when you write a poem without a planned idea, it is much easier than what you write when you are given the idea. You have to steer it that way. And to rhyme- that becomes sort of a challenge...

Laterzz!
