They’ll have to make the best of it…
Well, this is the tale of a Korean ship
That crashed into a reef…
Kim Il-Jong would like it back,
But Mexico is causing grief.
It seems the ship is embargoed,
And besides, it doesn’t float…
The best the North Koreans can do
Is send a stiffly worded note.
In hotels in Túxpam now
North Korean sailors wait
Until the situation is
Resolved at some future date.
So, this is the tale of the castaways
They’ll be here for a long long time,
They’ll have to make the best of it —
It’s an uphill climb.
Phones that work, and motor cars,
Tequila and TV
I’m not sure they’ll ever go home…
IN Mexico, there is kimchee.
