Phnom Penh Limerick

There once was an old monk from Phnom Penh
who'd been freed from the who, where, and when.
Knowing only now -
no Self, anyhow.
There was no monk and, perhaps, no Phnom Penh.

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!"

Phnom Penh Limerick [PoMo Day 7: Limerick]

There was an old woman from Phnom Penh
who liked to canoe now and again,
but boating Tonlé Sap --
despite compass and map --
she'd forget which way it flowed, now-and-then.

[Note: The Tonlé Sap is one of the few rivers in the world that changes its flow each year due to the rainy season surge. (As opposed to owing to daily tidal surges — which are more common.)]

Cambodian Limerick

There was an old man from Cambodia
who suffered from four types of phobia:
scared of poles and of pots,
open holes, and gun shots.
Who could blame that scared man of Cambodia?
