Looking mighty cute
Dressed in a suit
I was on route
Ever so resolute
To pick up a loot

Arrived at the institute
I thought I heard them call me a cloot
Or maybe it was a galoot
I really wasn’t absolute
These days my hearing is acute

They said I had to wait over by the chute
They had something to compute
Just a problem to troubleshoot
So they had themselves a moot
I thought they meant we don’t give a hoot

Meanwhile after adjusting my boot
I sat and ate the second half of a grapefruit
Then proceeded to play my flute
With my good eye I watched things convolute
I too have my moments to be astute

They looked intensely involute
The teller in her jumpsuit was a beaut
The manager a snoot and a brute
You could tell by their salute
They were in cahoot’

Hold’it! Hit the pause or press the mute
My patience growing ever so minute
I can tell there’s been a fraudulent substitute
Persecute Prosecute There’s going to be a lawsuit
Someone’s been tempted by the forbidden fruit

Sherlock Holmes

When I think of Sherlock Holmes, I think of astuteness. I think this because he's a detective, and all detectives should be astute in my opinion, and what better way to demonstrate this than Sherlock Holmes.
