A drabble (100 words)

Happy Birthday, Lucy:-)

Battle

Sergeant

Sally Donovan;

How is she defined?

A bright, ambitious woman,

With a sharp, inquiring mind;

Adept at battling prejudice,

Throughout a tough career;

And persevering past

Whatever obstacles

Appear?

~0~

Alas, her reputation

Is one she didn't seek.

She stood her ground

And argued with

A puzzle-solving

"Freak".

She questioned Sherlock's

Unofficial presence

On the scene;

And gained the same reaction

As an

Evil,

Wicked,

Queen.

~0~

She's written as a calculating

Bitch

Who doesn't care;

A hard misguided woman

In an ill-advised affair.

But, watch this lady

Following

The Great Detective's

Fall...

Sergeant

Sally Donovan

May yet

Surprise us all.
