The old man is sleeping!
But his lips are smiling!
Surely he is not celebrating
Moriarty's great victory against
S.Holmes in his dreams in any way?
Because that would be sacrilege!
And world wide there would be mourning
And books and sex magazines burned
Their authors to languish in jail
Suppose he is not even dreaming
And what we think is a smile is really
A grimace and he sees in his sleep
The terrible picture of Satan playing
And beating his own corpse at qiangqi
Qiangqi...Chinese chess
