Oh Miss Sadie! If you have the time, please google “Keep a Stiff Upper Lip” by Phoebe Cary. It’s a poem, and I think it’s one Mycroft would recite to Sherlock when they were kids, and perhaps when he’s in little space as well but when he’s in a bit older of a headspace. (7-9) It’s absolutely precious. Do you enjoy poetry much?

Sadie:

It’s been a minute since I’ve read any poetry, anon, but I have to say these are both very fitting and I can see Mycroft reciting bits of them when he’s feeling sentimental. 🙂

“Keep a Stiff Upper Lip”

And I tried to find a link to the second poem you mentioned, but couldn’t find it. Did it go by another title, perhaps?
