Kim Jong-Il 1942-2011

I know he was a mass-murdering thug, kleptocrat and all around loon but I've got this song in my head:

Memories, light the corners of my mind  

looking at sausages
looking at sausages

Misty watercolor memories

looking at women’s bras
looking at women’s bras

of the way we were.  

looking at the kitchen cabinet
looking at the kitchen cabinet
 
Scattered pictures 

looking at madeleine albright
looking at madeleine albright

of the smiles we left behind  

looking at cheese
looking at cheese

smiles we give to one another

looking at kim jong-un
looking at kim jong-un

for the way we were.  


looking at a ballot
looking at a ballot

Can it be that it was all so simple then  

looking at fresh produce
looking at fresh produce

or has time rewritten every line?...
