Come on Sherlock, let's go!
No. Life's getting all H G Wells science fiction
Scurrying around underground like a sewer rat
No. I prefer civilised, fresh London air
And walking knee deep in horse manure?
Come on let's steam punk it on the London Underground

Every year they sacrificed the biggest animal & burned it to appease 'Science' & each year 'Nuclear Winter' left stomachs emptier
'Strangeman' was supposed to have the answers
Belief brought order & hope - offering nothing would break it
Maybe a person next year

Wot you doin', Robin?
Practicing my comedy routine, Bats
It's open mic night at The Pen's new money laundering place
If I get more laughs than Joker it'll destroy him
The new Bat computer, from China has written some jokes & I'm Google translating them
OMG!!

The Library - repository of all human knowledge & history - The United Intl Corp didn't just give it a major upgrade in 2090, when they took control but rewrote everything!
So maybe the 2nd Roman Empire didn't collapse in 2060, leaving them to save humanity

I got your message, Watson
Is it the perp of a murdah most foal that needs a hunting down?
I'm sure I wrote haunting - it is Halloween

We'd go to the deserted maintenance level, with only the howling Venusian wind battering the orbiting station & we'd scare each other with our stories
Now on Halloween all the kids want to play as projected holograms on the nightmare surface
Costs a fortune!

It happened again, Watson
Omg, Holmes! No
I took too many pills for the night terrors & came to pushing a ton of letters into the post box
My address book is open & half the note pad gone!
It'll all be gibberish
But how many went to the butcher's daughter!

Execution on Earth on fake charges or be a Martian
Your grandad - it took balls, that 1st step to enter the rocket
He said the sadistic guards manhandled them, even as they climbed in
The prisoners were scared?
Guards were provoking to invalidate them going

I'm watching Scooby Doo, Robin
We've been missing something & I've just realised what it is
If it's an android mummy, King Tut already has one, Bats
No
Backwoods, android zombie?
No, a Bat dog
Wot, an android one, Bats?
Make that two dogs, Robin

This nerdy guy would wander into our office, look out onto the arid Martin vista & say: "it's all change," cuz nothing had changed for aeons
We'd mock laugh
Eventually, "smart" guy makes a sarky comment
That's the boss's, boss's, boss, I whisper, nervously

What are you doing in this crowd, sporting an oversized raincoat & glasses, Holmes?
Hiding in plain sight, Dr Watson
Prof.Moriarty has sent an assassin
It's a fluke you found me
Dr.Watson looks at the deerstalker, pipe & violin case
Yes, pure chance, Holmes

Another spoon of medicine for Dr.Suiss
This will make those evil aliens go away
There are aliens! I've proved it beyond doubt
Yours is s sick, libertine mind, Dr.Suiss,
going against the orthodoxy
They get here, then you'll be sorry
We already are, Dr.Suiss

Sherlock flicks elastic
I'm bored Dr.Watson, there aren't any mysteries to solve
If you could time travel, Holmes, which mystery?
Mary Celeste
But your extreme Kraken phobia!
Princes in the Tower
You'd lose your head!
No doubt something will come along

Aliens have dodgy circuses too:
The creatures nervously perform, to join the circus
Ringmaster decides- Talent, No Talent or Pulp
"Wot a bunch of miserable No Talents
Let's pulp them & get the best bits, there might be *one" decent circus creature in there"

I have memories of my mum saying that it was a little angel that was living in my ear - It would sing & it bothered me
Its sonorous tones keeping me awake
Eventually it learned our language
& it isn't an angel
It's an alien parasite & not friendly at all

Holmes, this piece in The Times, on the monster they're calling Jack the Ripper, can't you...
Insp.Sloth of Scotland Yard warned me to stay off it, Dr.Watson
There are "rumours"
It's a catastrophe! Holmes
Here's hoping for a future free of conspiracy theories

How did the news item with supervillain King Tut go, Bats?
They think he's a great archeological find, Robin & like his style
Apparently, I'm an out of control vigilante
And?
I said he was a big fraud in fancy dress
And?
It's too painful to remember, Robin

Bats?
Yes, Robin
Given the chance should we kill our criminal foes, instead of keep arresting them? It's for a college ethics essay
What horror of a world would that make, Robin?
& we'd either get dead, be jailed or be out of a job
Plus, 'The Bat' needs them
