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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
