Pyongyang Pampering Regime Makeover Bid
(instigated by Ri Sol-ju and Kim Yo-jong)
Kim Jong Un must have fun
it's beauty regime time
an eyebrow trim a dermal skim
Dear Leader's in his prime.
Creams and soap help him cope
we'll work upon his weight -
a new hairstyle, the current's vile
and mocked by heads of state.
Kim's lost shine, it is a sign,
DPRK needs frills -
some blame Trump, the stupid lump,
the cause of Kim Jong's ills.
Dearest Un the day is come
for pampering after tea
it's eyemasks on binoculars gone
a break from DMZ.

TRUMPed-up
no other way
I will stay back
a day later
we will decide
let him know no hurry from our side
let's be clever
I'd never want
forever to lose
this golden chance
we must uphold our emboldened stance
to our dismay
plan goes haywire
our wayward faith
betrays and yet
we are supposed to play life's roulette
