Here’s a quick biography of how I came to be, 1 the junior lead detective who researches fearlessly. 2

The probability, I find, is just as good as coincidence 3
that I’ll find some hidden mystery by watching some events. 4

This vocation, fair and true, I stumbled on one day, 5
and the verdict was that I’d pursue each fact that comes my way.6

When I find a question that requires investigation,7
I pull out all the stops and start my thorough speculation.8

I believe in accuracy, and truth for all involved, 9
and always staying neutral ‘til the case is all but solved.10

Each occurrence that I witness is a clue to ponder ever—11
‘til I take the case and make it my own personal endeavor.12

I interview each villain, and I never give an inch. 13
I notice all the ticks, and I explore each blink and flinch.14

I ensure each alibi is honest; I check each testimony, 15
and I find the real exception and expose it from the phony.16
5 This vocation, fair and true, I stumbled on one day,
6 and the verdict was that I’d pursue each fact that comes my way.
