Gale

Gale was a funny one

     She ate worms

    “Gale eats worms” the co-workers would say;

      and it was true, she did in fact eat worms

      Big fat earthy British worms to be exact

      Squirming around at the bottom of her lunch box they were

      Turning and twisting like they knew what was coming

      She’s got nothing at all in common with the likes of us you see

      How comes she get made to be the team mentor when she hardly ever even does any work?

      She continually messes up all her cases
      and Timmy has been working her almost twice as long
      Yet somehow she gets to be the team mentor

      AND she eats worms

      I wouldn’t have believed it myself
      Unless I had seen it with my own two eyes
      Sat there like she was
      Dirt up her fingernails
      Chomping on gooey entrails

      In the staff room of all places (where other people need to eat)

      and she made no attempts to hide it
      As bold as brass 
      In popped another one
      Top and bottom, she slithered up the lot
      With no bother at all

      “See that!
       What did I say?
       Gale eats worms!”

They should have made me the team mentor
