A No-Shit Sherlock

of

Corrective Tomes

"For this particular work, I shall don a Deerstalker hat, sport an Ulster coat with the collar turned up, carry a hardwood walking stick, and smoke a gourd Calabash pipe while putting on a polished disposition dignified and speaking in a British accent similar to that of Benedict Cumberbatch."

A sleuth am I whose eye casts wide about
so truth beyond all reasoned doubt will out
on being penned in verses tight and terse
averse to crooked villainies perverse

hard bound still by a boundless knowledge base
quick accessed each ensuing case I ace
on donning a persona in disguise --
uncloaked but by his wit and sparkling eyes.
