Camb-Ode-Ia

Temples of Angkor,
and chicken curry,
Dopey mosquitos,
and gekkos that scurry,
Deep fried tarantulas,
Angkor beer and sting,
These are a few of Cambodia's things....

Boat to Battambang,
By floating villages,
Fields of landmines,
Khmer Rouge pillages,
SUV's in Phnom Penh,
Treasures of kings,
These are a few of Cambodia's things....

Hello arachnid,
Insides porridge,
When my resolve crumbles,
I simply remember Cambodia's things..
and then I feel the rumble.

Tuk-tuk drivers,
Weaving and tooting,
Roosters and chickens,
Crowing and hooting,
Dignified monkeys,
Like human beings,
These are a few of Cambodia's things....

The Mekong River,
and Beef Lok Lak,
Foreign Correspondents Club,
An eight legged snack,
A plate of fish amok,
with a sauce that zings,
These are a few of Cambodia's things....

Genocide museum,
Landmine victim,
When I start to stumble,
I simply remember Cambodia's things..
and then I feel so humble.
