The Ode To Russell L. Blaisdell And Mike Strang

Kinsley Lee

In Korean War, after Incheon operation
In Seoul, he founded the shelter for the orphan
And cared for them at during retrograde operation,

A thousand orphans were up to the burthen
Of him. It's known to us the Kiddy Car Airlift
To transport by boating, but gradually worsen.

It's urgent but received short shrift
So Blaisdell made the fake order for requisition
Which for the trucks to support the orphans to shift

To Je-Ju island. And due to the operation,
He was summoned to the military law commission,
But happily, in the army, he can keep his position

The orphans could be rescued by his action,
And he left Korea, but Koreans were in his debt,
As an army chaplain, he had various position.

No more, we cannot meet them, yet,
Blaisdell and Mike Strang, we must not forget.
