SHERLOCK HOLMES
Sherlock Holmes was the great master sleuth,
For he always discovered the truth.
He assisted the poor
Using logic quite sure,
And he never did one thing uncouth.
THE RED CIRCLE
The two Luccas were both on the run,
The Red Circle did not wish them fun,
But Gennaro did whack
Giorgiano the Black,
And the Luccas ordeal then was done.
