I don't know any good palindromes but I enjoyed "I Palindrome I" by They Might Be Giants. Very clever song with palindromes as a theme. Palindromes in many different forms.

They Might Be Giants - I Palindrome I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gW513E8_6I#)

Someday Mother will die and I'll get the money
Mom leans down and says, "My sentiments exactly
You son of a bitch"
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
And I am a snake head eating (snake head)
The head on the opposite side (snake head)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)

See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
See the medical chart with the random zig-zag
Now I'll help it decide
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
And I am a snake head eating (snake head)
The head on the opposite side (snake head)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)

"Son, I am able," she said
"Though you scare me." "Watch"
Said I. "Beloved," I said
"Watch me scare you, though"
Said she, "Able am I, Son"

See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding
(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
See the hands of my offspring making windmills
(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
Dad palindrome Dad
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
I palindrome I (I palindrome I)
And I am a snake head eating (snake head)
The head on the opposite side (snake head)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)
I palindrome I (manonam)

I was somewhat obsessed with palindromes for a time (and still tend to read things both ways...) after my son brought home some illustrated books on them from the school library.

My favorite showed a gleeful scientist running through a lab of (dynamos?) machinery... his hands in the air, shouting "So many dynamos!"

I never understood why "palindrome" wasn't one...

there's always
Quote"To I, Lester"

A cotton eve,
O, trap! Eden!
O, television sad as night.

I wonder if senile sirs tell war days,
Words selfless, drowsy...

A drawl lets rise lines fired
[No!]
With gin:
Sad as "no" is,
I've let one depart.
O, eve--
Not to care...

--T. S. Eliot

OK, I have to stop creating these; it is irresponsible to release unsocialized palindromes into the wild. Just one more.

Did you read the abstract on the article about cross gender hormone therapy? It was a brief one:

FTM: E 2 T;
T 2 E: MTF.

I can only assume that Devlyn wants me to revive the palindrome thread by pointing out that my new name is a palindrome!  But I'll also include Demitri Martin's 224 word palindrome poem:

"Dammit I'm Mad" by Demetri Martin

    Dammit I'm mad.
    Evil is a deed as I live.
    God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
    To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
    Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
    Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
    I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog".
    Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
    In my halo of a mired rum tin.
    I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
    Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
    No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
    Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
    Be still if I fill its ebb.
    Ew, a spider... eh?
    We sleep. Oh no!
    Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
    Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
    Both, one... my names are in it.
    Murder? I'm a fool.
    A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
    A Goddam level I lived at.
    On mail let it in. I'm it.
    Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
    A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name.
    Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
    "Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog"
    Evil is a deed as I live.
    Dammit I'm mad.

A debate on the Reagan legacy (ok its not good, but I did make it up):

Gipper=Rep. pig!

On Gipper: Rep. pig? No.

Did live, RR; evil did!

Lived, was never one, nor even saw, devil.

H.U.D.; duh!

Kook!
