Saint Detective Robert Goren
Came to me in my dreams last night
As I squeezed through a hole in the back yard fence
With my rag doll and little light
Saint Detective Robert Goren
Said he knows how men wear masks
And if I wanted to tell him a secret
All I had to do was ask
His partner Alex Eames
Had hidden my stuff upstairs
It was done to prevent me from leaving
And because they always work in pairs
Star light, star bright
The devil stays out of sight
Wish I may, wish I might
Elude that terrifying appetite
Saint Detective Robert Goren
Had his ways and his little tricks
Though the closer he got, the more I screamed
And beat him with my fists
Saint Detective Robert Goren
Made me tell him all the rest
He said I never had been guilty
And I wept against his chest.

I kind of wanted Goren to mourn Nicole in a significant way when she died. I wasn't particularly enamored of the whole "Bobby Gets Institutionalized" storyline.
ReplyDeleteWait- no one asked me.
I wonder what Goren would do with someone crying on his chest.
Very mysterious. Star light, star bright...what is the appetite? Inquiring minds want to know the secret but I know you are going to leave me to my own devices. Did you really dream this one?
ReplyDeleteVicarious, I liked the dapper handsome Bobby lots better than the scruffy bloated Bobby we get now. I like Eames better now, though, they gave her more to do.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Pouty, I'm not going to 'splain. But yes, I dreamt it last night.
How DO you do it? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly compelling write *smile*

ReplyDeleteThis needs to be a song ... and not as a singy-songy lullaby either.
