XII. - SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE.<br />
<br />
<br />
Your own creation, that great sleuth,<br /><br />
Who spent his life in chasing Truth -<br /><br />
How does he view your late defiance<br /><br />
(O Arthur!) of the laws of Science?<br />
<br />
He disapproves your strange vagaries,<br /><br />
Your spooks and photographs of fairies;<br /><br />
And holds you foot-cuffed when you're fain<br /><br />
To navigate the vast inane.<br />
<br />
We sympathise with ''Holmes;'' and yet<br /><br />
In Punch's heart your name is set;<br /><br />
Of every DOYLE he's still a lover<br /><br />
For DICKY'S sake, who did his cover.<br />
<br />
<br />
