Question

Help answer this question below.

Do you know any good Palindromes? A Palindrome is a word or a sentence that reads the same back and forth. The only one I know is: "Dabale arroz a la zorra el Abad" It means "The Abbot gave rice to the fox" Any other ones?

    Yep, that sure is a palindrome.
    Oo, look at the ones I found! (no, I wasn't creative enough to think of them myself)

    No sir, away, a papaya war is on!
    A man, a plan, a canal; Panama.
    Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog.
    A nut for a jar of tuna.
    Yo! Banana boy!

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

    "Never odd or even."

    "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama."

    And, of course, "racecar."

    The third movement of Joseph Haydn's Symphony No.47 in G is a musical palindrome. Does that count? So is The Owl and the Pussy Cat by Stravinsky.

    Some verbal palindromes I found:

    DAMN! I Agassi, miss again! Mad!
    Ah, Satan sees Natasha.
    Am I loco, Lima?
    Anna: "Did Otto peep?" Otto: "Did Anna?"
    Yawn a more Roman way!
    Too hot to hoot
    Tulsa night life: filth, gin, a slut.
    Swap God for a Janitor, Rot in a jar of dog paws.
    Mom's Dad & Dad's Mom!?!

    This one is really long:

    Here is perhaps the most difficult palindrome ever written. This entire technically correct limerick reads backwards, and makes complete sense...

    “My sylph’s in a Danish! So gym
    Was droll, Merows! My swan is slim!
    A Hamil’s sin —” “Aw!”
    Sym swore. “M’Llord saw?
    My gosh! Sin a Danish? Ply Sym!”

    Puzzled? Matthew Llord protests when his girlfriend Symantha Hamil tucks into Danish pastries provided by the swanning Merow twins, the chubby owners of their gym. Sym snaps sarcastically even before Matt can mention her family's sweet tooth, for she can read him like a book — backwards, just as you can read me. Try!

    This, I believe, is the most difficult limerick ever written. Even prose palindromes of this length are rare, and they never tell a coherent story, as this one does. Yet it also satisfies all the very difficult requirements of metre and rhyme — and wholly without technical flaws of any sort.
