So, farewell then Kim Jong...

Your name was Kim,
and that rhymes with RIM

But you were a golfing legend who invented
the radial tyre, the microwave oven and holograms
- while RIM came up with the PlayBook

Jim and Mike are still taking the tablets but you're a goner
which isn't surprising really because, Kim Jong,
you did look quite Il

Steve,
It's an English thing. Our best and longest-established satirical magazine "Private Eye" is famous for its "So farewell then.." obituary poems that appear in print occasionally usually taking some crook, dictator, vile politician as their subject. They drag in all sorts on not-necessarily connected topical references and they don't rhyme - they are not meant to - that's the joke. And you must admit that North Korean creature was/is perfect for a piss take. Martyn Warwick

Martyn: Thanks for clearing that up. I seriously toying with dipping into my stash of Prozac again...
