Sherlock Resurrected

(Dr. A. Conan Doyle talks of bringing his great detective hero, Sherlock Holmes, to life again)

Yes, bring Sherlock back to life,

     Dr. Doyle;

It will end a painful strife,

     Dr. Doyle.

Calls are loud and calls are long

For your sleuth hero strong –

Waits a mighty, anxious throng,

     Dr. Doyle.

There’s so much of crime today

     Dr. Doyle,

Sherlock’s needed right away,

     Dr. Doyle.

Fill his pipe up with the “stuff”,

Let him take a goodly puff,

That will surely be enough,

     Dr. Doyle.
