Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson,
Mary Morstan, Mrs. Hudson,
Are some characters Americans hold.
Likewise Asians, Europeans,
And Australians, Polynesians,
And Africans also, we're told.
Sixty stories we love
For the verve they're made of,
Here's a place for discussing them all,
Done in English with computer,
With some wittiness and humor.
The tales of Holmes still enthrall!

by John McDonnell

The adventures draw us ever
Back to London and the River
As Old Thames rolls deep waters along.
And the years melt before us,
And we join in the chorus
Of a magic Victorian song.
We remember the tales
And the oft-travelled trails
As we follow the sleuth and his friend.
Yes we wander and we wonder
Along clue-strewn pathways,
And we're joyous they never will end.
