In War of Elton John Lyrics, Kim Jong Un Calls Trump Honky Cat

[Zorro]

PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)—In what some security experts fear could be a high-stakes war of Elton John lyrics, minutes after Donald Trump called Kim Jong Un “Rocket Man,” the North Korean dictator responded by calling Trump “Honky Cat.”

As he issued the Elton John-based attack, Kim warned that he had an extensive collection of the singer-songwriter’s albums and was prepared to weaponize every lyric in them.

The White House immediately struck back, warning Kim that “any further provocation involving an Elton John lyric, especially ‘Tiny Dancer,’ will be seen as an act of war.”

But any hope that Kim would be silenced was short-lived. Responding to the White House, Kim stated, “I see the bitch is back,” before signing off, “Goodbye, Yellow-Wigged Toad.”

Look in the middle for "The Freedom Toast Songs." Since it's the newest, it should be first on the list.

*edit: as far as Trump goes---"And I hope it isn't gonna be a long, long time...."

I thought it could be true. We're living in a world with at least two infantile leaders with way too much power. Made me laugh hard though. Thanks, I needed that!!!!!
