Today's Timerick: North Korea ‘bans laughing’ for 11 days to mark the 10th death anniversary of former leader, Chairman Kim Jong Un’s father.

 


Hung with crepe, the people mourn

North Korea's unicorn;

Kim Jong's dad, that noble steed,

died ten years ago indeed!


So with great austerity

the nation bans hilarity;

no one laughs and no one smirks --

from generals to humble clerks.


If a chuckle is detected,

that poor fool is soon corrected;

he or she in durance vile

sits and frowns for quite a while.



Once a nation bans the laugh

you can write their epitaph. 

Glad I am the USA

still can laugh its cares away!
