The Koreas Prepare for War

Los Angeles
Look up in the sky

that may just be
a Korean missile flying by

and it may just have
a nuclear payload, oh my

I guess this means
to Hollywood we must say bye

That is an excellent movie, by the way.

Here is a haiku:

Hollywood, CA
you’ll be missed, your shitty flicks
won’t be made no more!

Kim Jong Un is mad
I guess this will end real bad
LA I feel sad

To the beat of the Eurythmics “Here Comes the Rain Again”

Here come the reds again
dropping bombs on me from a new country
dropping bombs on me like a stupid sanction
I want to walk in the cold winter
I want to talk like I’m alive
I want to hide into a bunker
It’s nuclear stew

I’m walking down the street
what is that I hear?

A lot of people’s feet
What’s that object coming near?
