[hometext] => With apologies to Sherlock Holmes
[bodytext] => The midget lay stabbed on the carpet. By the time our man Sheerluck came; The locals were all taking bar bets That the dame known as Jane was to blame. The cops hauled her down to the hoosegow. The coroner hauled off the dead. The press made poor Jane front page news now. But Sheerluck stood fast and he said: "The victim was poisoned without fail Long before knifewounds were rendered. By the only one posting poor Jane/'/s bail." (All eyes fell upon the bartender)! Confessions came 3 hours later, When the autopsy proved what was missed; From the bartender’s wife, and the waiter, Who suspected the bartender/'/s tryst; " I poisoned her beer." the wife blubbered. The waiter then planted the knife. The poison and notes in the cupboard Revealed the affair with his wife! Jane and the bartender married. His wife and the waiter were jailed. The fame of old Sheerluck was carried By newspapers telling the tale. The moral quote Sheerluck is dryer Than any martini by far; "Where midgets will go, a murder so low Is prevented by raising the bar".

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
