He once was the ace

Of New York's Major Case

But since Goren came in

His star has now dimmed

And Jimmy's just one more pretty face.

Goren's less than objective perspective

Inspires new heights of invective

Though his solve rate's astounding

He leaves Deakins' head pounding

And longing for a less quirky Detective.

After watching them week after week

This answer I desperately seek

If Goren were to nibble on his ear

Or offer to buy him a beer

Which would most flummox ol' Deak?

I know there are people who hope

That Goren and Eames will elope

But the assignment reshuffles

Would cause scheduling kafuffles

Driving Deakins to the end of his rope.

Deakins deserves major praise

For the calm he portrays

You don't suppose Cragen

Wouldn't turn raging pagan

Dealing with Goren's displays?

With each Goren excess

Does Deakins' patience grow less

Or do you think

He's just taken to drink

In order to combat the stress?
