Mehndi

(another track for the Atlin
Merrick's Greatest Hits album, with only a wee apology to Barry
Manilow, since we all know he probably reads as much fanfiction as we
do)
Frustrated by a lack of case
His lover’s disapproving face
Nowhere in evidence
Just licking his lips now
Grinning at the sight
The sight of Sherlock
Saying now here is the call
We’ll be vendors in a Camden stall
Looking for the clues
Hiding in plain sight
And now here they are
Now they’ve got piercings and Mehndi
Sherlock saw and deduced John completely
How he loves all the bracelets and Mehndi
Winding over his pale skin so neatly
And the game is afoot, oh Mehndi
They’re working in a Camden booth
Jealousy’s the nasty truth
Glaring and hissing and hissing and glaring
Arsonist forgotten
They are well past caring, oh Mehndi
Timmy found them a nook for their nooky
John loves the stilettos and Mehndi
Sherlock blew out his hot pants just looking
When John unfurled those wings made of Mehndi
Something is burning
Come on let’s face it
The anal play warning is
Less warning than promise in Mehndi
As they grope and they snog and they finger
John loves Sherlock’s “down there” oh Mehndi
But Then John got a hard on that lingered
Sherlock helped him out in nothing but Mehndi
Cigarette answer, smug grin on their faces
Fuck the Kensington twins, oh Mehndi
They’ll revisit the portions of this case
That started and ended w-i-i-i-i-ith Mehndi
