A Holmesian Solstice

We write, make art, we share, and now we’ve guessed;
How eagerly we greet each solstice day
And gather twice a year for Holmestice fest!

Our able mods—the best, the cleverest!—
Assign the match, the rules by which we play.
We write, make art, we share, and now we’ve guessed.

There’s love for every Holmes herein expressed,
And Watson, too, we joyfully portray,
When gathered twice a year for Holmestice fest.

We scrutinize each clue and palimpsest,
Seek fingerprints, find evidence to weigh.
We write, make art, we share, and now we’ve guessed.

So give three cheers! (Prepare to be impressed!)
Full twenty times we’ve held this masked soirée,
We’ve gathered twice a year for Holmestice fest.

Suffice to say, we’re all quite Holmes-obsessed!
Let’s pledge our troth that we shall always say:
We write, make art, we share, and now we’ve guessed!
Let’s gather twice a year for Holmestice fest!
