Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Book on How To Follow the Clues

"The Complete Sherlock Holmes" I be

Taking time to completely read.

Meanwhile the wife, cheating on me,

Thought I knew not of her misdeed.

But just like Sherlock I believed

Women can't be trusted and so

While the wife thought I was deceived,

Simple deductions let me know.

Finished the book and did commence

To follow clues left by the wife.

Confronted by the evidence,

I watched her cry in stress and strife.

The wife asked why I sought divorce.

"Elementary," I said of course.
