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.



Feb. 17, 1901
