Siem Reap Limerick
A gambling tourist in Siem Reap rhymed the town's name with "REM Sleep." When told it's "See-em Ree-ap -- rhymes with "See 'em free app." He said, "You can 'Ree'em and Wee-ap!"

Fun fact: Instead of a dry season and a monsoon (rainy) season, Angkor has a rainy season and a rainier season. That is, there’s the Northeast monsoon season from December through April, and that transitions into the Southwest monsoon season that picks up from April through November.

POEM: Ruins
blocks of rubble
corners & edges eroded round
bas reliefs dulled
&
adorned by jagged cracks
once the Earth’s most massive city
in its day London was a hamlet
thriving,
dying,
&
swallowed
infinitely patient arboreal adversaries
claimed the light
drilling down into cracks
making chasms
to set roots
strangler figs, literally,
strangled
figureheads
