The Junior Detective

Marie Devers

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
