No Lemon, No Melon: A Conversational Poem in Palindromes

Posted on by under Poetry

A poem by Yuan Changming

Lon Nol, don’t nod!
________Did I?

Was it a cat I saw?
________I did.

Sit on a potato pan, Otis!
________Madam?

Eva, can I see bees in a cave?
________I am Adam.

Red rum, Sir, I murder!
________Wow!

Step on no pets!
________I did?
