"My Name is Gil Grissom"

Disclaimer: All characters from CSI are copyright CBS

My name is Gil Grissom,

Las Vegas Crime Lab

Scientist and philosopher

Cool, conservative, and collected

My favorite topic is insects

Why didn't I become an entomologist?

I see bugs in everything, even people

Catherine's a beautiful Monarch butterfly

Graceful and intelligent

Many try to imitate her, but she's unique

Greg is an efficient little ant,

But easy to step on

Sara is a bossy queen bee,

But spunky and energetic

Watch out for her stinger!

Eckley's an obnoxious gnat,

While the Sheriff's a bloodsucking mosquito

Texas-native Nick is a cockroach

Smart, hardy, and guaranteed to last

Warrick is a spider, in a class by himself

Complex as a web

Some say I have no emotions

But I really do, trust me

I get jealous, I feel like a failure at times

I cry behind closed doors

I don't look to challenge anybody,

Though some people think it's fun to challenge me

I'm a fountain of useless trivia,

I read a lot as a kid

I never dared cross my mother

Even if I said something, she knew

People expect me to be perfect

But I'm not.

I'm socially inept

My life is insects and case files

I concentrate on my job

Let others frolic inefficiently

Criminals can run from me

But they can't hide from the evidence

If you're in Vegas, look for my name,

Gil Grissom.
