*"Why Mr Holmes! Come quick! The vicar's dead!"
"Dearest Lestrade! Another killer lost?"
"The Reverend Green alas was killed in bed,
The frightened Mrs White mirrors a ghost!
Mrs Peacock is in quite a shock,
The Colonel Mustard is attending her;
Motive remains unclear, although the clock
Was stopped at six, when Mr Black was here
He burned the mail, perhaps it held a clue,
The man then ran, and no weapon was found;
Miss Scarlet who was sleeping, slept right through;
Such a tough case, so care to stake a pound?"
"Lestrade! To take your cash would be a crime!
One wonders why the clock stopped at that time!"*

Who murdered poor Reverend Green, why and how?
CLUE: the solution contains 15 words.
CLUE:
“I say old chap, those kids in Baker Street
They’re running and a skipping: SHOO AWAY!”
“Dear Dr. Watson, rest your weary feet!
Perhaps you’ll learn something from childish play!”
