SHERLOCK
ON MASTERPIECE THEATER

                  There’s no out-smarting brilliant Sherlock Holmes.
                  Not even evil Moriarty
                  A tenant in the devil’s catacombs,
                  And subtle master of conspiracy
                  Can possibly defeat Holmes’ prescient
                  Alertness to the faintest lingering clue
                  And keen awareness of his foe’s intent,
                  Revealing the true culprit to pursue.
                  However, this last episode has shown
                  The suicides of these two adversaries
                   In pools of blood and dead as any stone
                   And even Holmes’ tombstone by which John tarries;
                        But then a preview shows Holmes in the game
                        Again—a stunt to magnify his fame.
