Thank you, I would not class anything I write in this way, of course-more derivative narrative verse than true poetry. I somehow doubt I will take the top of anyone's head off:-)

Thanks for the link, I had not seen that book before. I have come across others who have written a fair amount of Sherlockian verse

But I have not read any of the books mentioned:-)

I think verse gets used at various Sherlockian Society meetings, but cannot access much on line-some seem quite secretive:-) Not sure my Seussed solitary cyclist or Clint Eastwood mix would go down too well...

I won't give up the day job just yet:-)
