We said that Kim Jong Il was just the guy
For whom we needed Star Wars in the sky.
Now Kim Jong Il declares we needn't worry
That he might up and bomb us in a hurry:
He isn't testing for the missile race;
He's got a moratorium in place.
Does this, then, mean that we won't have to wield
A multibillion-dollar missile shield?
Well, no, for other wicked rogues remain.
If they go, we'll find others as profane.
If all rogues disappear, we won't be glum,
We'll hope that if we build it, they will come.
