Ode to Che Fong

A forensic scientist named Che

Works tirelessly night and day.

'Cuz Five-O won't rest,

'Til the culprit they best.

So Che, in the lab he will stay.


A party, a cake, a guitar

Ended badly with an exploding car.

The burnt out remains

Challenged Che Fong's brain

'Til he found a small tube in the tar.


While examining Benny Jalor's loot,

Dan found a small notebook, to boot.

Was the handwriting Steve's?

This, Che seemed to believe

But with Jalor, Steve would never cahoot!


Stealing air cargo: a scheme

That involved an answering machine.

But Che's boxes that beep

Let him, its messages keep

And Steve's idea worked like a dream.


Dan Williams was dumped from a truck,

With no memory, he seemed of out luck.

"With horse dander," said Che,

"Dan had contact today.

Perhaps from a horse he was bucked."


Dan discovered a bomb in the ceiling,

Which sent the rest of Five-O reeling.

With the help of Che Fong

Dan defused that bad bomb,

Right before another revealing!


A psycho, Cerberus by name

Tried to drive his psychiatrist insane.

Che found all his bugs,

Even one in the rug

Then beat the man at his own game.


The lab was with newspapers strewn.

This perp really must be a loon!

But the evidence, clear

Had been so very near

Since Che always reads 'Judy Moon.'


While searching a boat filled with fleas,

Dan found the ship's logbook with ease.

He looked rather tense

And asked Che, "How's your French?"

Said Che, "About as good as your Chinese."


Be it thumbprint or voice print or hair,

Che Fong does his job with great care.

"Gentlemen, we must face

That Che's work solved our case,"

Steve's a big enough man to declare.
