NCIS - Mem Fox

Here is the torso
And here are the fingers.
Here is the liver
And here are the gizzards.
But where is the culprit?

Here are the kneecaps
And here are the eyeballs.
Here are the elbows
And here are the gimbals.
But where is the culprit?

"Not me", said the thief.
"Get stuffed", said the pimp.
"Say what?" said the whore.
"Bird legs", said the tramp.
"Not sure", said the mole.

Here is the Goth chick
And here's the new science.
Here are ten minutes
And here is the outcome.
But where is the culprit?

Here is the heart throb
And here's the Latino.
Here's the strong, silent, sexy
Boss with wry humour.
But where is the culprit?

"Wasn't there", said the thief.
"Can't prove", said the pimp.
"Want  some?" said the whore.
"Pie paint", said the tramp.
"How much?" said the mole.

Here is the husband
And here's the red herring.
Here is the thinking
And here is the ending.
But where is the culprit?

Where is that culprit?
Look he's there in the crowd.
He's been under your noses the whole time.
