The Ode To The Greatest Batter And Pilot Ted Williams

Kinsley Lee

At major league, he's a batter of the Boston Red Sox.
During the world war second, he put down a bat
For a while, he took a control handle of Fight-Hawks
And after war again he returned to at bat.

When it broke out Korean War, again stopping batting
And he made many hits, by high speed ball.
But he'd been hit by pitch, during air-attacking
But he returned on base from anti-aircrafter's ball.

At war he took part in many sorties to strafe
And always scoring runs he touched the airbase, 
At all events at battle, he's not out but safe, 
And in front of the crowd, again he returned to the home-base.

He's a hero not only war but also baseball, 
And by record, being inducted into the Hall of Fame, 
And retired a legend hitter and veteran on Gun-ball, 
Even passed away, we forever remember his name.
