My Pet Donkey Kim

As children are They all want a pet I wanted a horse My little sister wanted a pony Our parents compromised They got us a goldfish Of course we had to name our new pet We compromised yet again and called him Turtle Now turtle would spend hours and hours Running and jumping around an around in his watery fields A very fast Turtle he was We decided to film our little turtle and so we did The show off would make jokes and acrobats Turns out he was a real comedian (also an expert at cards, especially Go Fish) To out surprise, an evil man didn’t like our wee turtle Why he called him a darn little monkey He said he would shatter our fish bowl Well he called it a Monkey bowel Then one day we saw something miraculous A second gold fish Turns out he was a she Happily now my sister and I both had pets She a wee little pony and me A great big beautiful black stallion She name her Pony Grasshopper So worried she was, that the evil man from far away Would do great harm to us, Grasshopper and Turtle She said we should get on our pony and horse And ride away on the ocean, far away and safe Then all of a sudden, our neighbors Korean Siamese cat jumped Right through the window, and right smack into the fish bowl Poor Turtle and Grasshopper, all over the floor My sister cried her little heart out that day From that moment forward, I just could never get myself To drink Orange crush again

For me the Orange Crush reference was the icing on the Cake. Some one told me you have a nice Ass, what made you decide on the name Kim??

Well aside from a funny children's story, an Aesop's fable or parody if you will, on the Sony movie the Interview and Kim jong-um the North Korean supremest!!
