North Korea warned against testing missiles

The Unites States has told North Korea that its planned long-range rocket launch may result in the end of American food aid. The U. S. and other nations see the launch as an attempt to show off the North's ballistic missile capabilities.

         No Free Launch

The White House is warning
North Koreans to pocket
Any plans they may have
To test their new rocket.

Officials, quite vocal,

Insist they're not jesting:
The North must back off
From all missile testing.

The U. S. must see

Such a move as sadistic;
And wants no such screening
Of missiles ballistic.

We counter their threat,

As forbearance grows thinner,
They may all go to bed
Without any dinner.
