(This is a really good one for us on Susan's...)

Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?

Dammit I'm mad.

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.



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...

[Devlyn]

Hey! Order in the court! You need to take that issue and go start a "conundrum" thread!

  This from this dyslexic from my earlier years: Was it that as I saw?  I saw that as it was.

there's always

"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

Good one, Alexis! I had to google the poem to find it.
