A 224-Word Palindrome

That beat the huge and boring record holder that inserted a glut of words into “A man, a plan, a canal…Panama!” I love the centerpiece, “Be still if I fill it’s ebb.”

+10, Demetri.

I love Demetri Martin. He’s one of the most intelligent and talented comedians I’ve ever seen.

Wow! (How else does one respond to a palindrome like that?)

For some reason it reminds me of Dutch Schulz’ dying rant.

By the way, the very first conversation consisted entirely of palindromes. Adam wakes up to find Eve beside him, and introduces himself: “Madam, I’m Adam.” Eve is kind of shy and just gives her name: “Eve.”

To whom may be interested, i think the longer one was made by Georges Perec in french, with 1247 words.
This guy, a crazy genius french writer also wrote a novel without the letter “e”, critics at time praise the book without even noticing this “exercice de style”

I love palindromes! My favorite is:

Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog

“Rats peed on hope.”

OMG. I can live another day.

I’m impressed by most of it, but I wish it said “Goddamn” instead of “Goddam”.

Wow

This is really bad for me.

my fav:
yo banana babe! o’ mama, i am amoeba banana boy.

A computer could actually do it. But if you think this text looks crazy then wait until you see what a computer conjures, Computationally crazy .

Someone has WAY too much time on their hands,
Lot of work for a pretty worthless result.

Weird Al used the “Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog.” in his song “Bob” – comprised entirely of palindromes and in homage to Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues. Fun stuff.

i like,

retteb siflahd nocese httub, but the second half is better.

comments are gay

Palindrome Day is August 29, some of you need to get started now.

Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.

my peronal fave is “so many dynamos”. it’s short, sweet, and oh so true

If you enjoy palindrome poetry, you should check out the work of Mike Maguire. He’s the biggest name in that field right now:

The longest I could come up with was “MOM”

ah NM, figured it out lol

A “Palin” drome Story
A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same in both directions.

Sarah Palin is known to reverse positions and this leads to a “palin”drome story.

I wrote this story back in Sept.08

————————-

Kayak salad: Alaska yak.
Must sell at tallest sum

Did I do, O God, did I as I said I’d do? Good, I did.

Dammit, I’m mad.
Name tarts? No, medieval slave, I demonstrate Man!

Raw was I ere I saw war.
Too far away, a war afoot.
No, I save on final perusal, a sure plan if no evasion.
No panic… I nap on

Oh who was it I saw, oh who?
so McCain: A maniac cmos
Yo! Banana boy!
Yo! Breed deer, boy!

Rot can rob a born actor.

Revered now I live on. O did I do no evil, I wonder ever?

Deny a god, O gay Ned
No, it never propagates if I set a gap or prevention.

No lemon, no melon.
No cab, no tuna nut on bacon.
No desserts, I stressed on

Is it I? It is I
I saw I was I
Too hot to hoot

A computer could actually do it. But if you think this text looks crazy then wait until you see what a computer conjures, Computationally crazy ..

Why is Dimirti Martian suddenly like everyone’s favorite? He’s been around man years, and in the past month suddenly I hear about him everywhere.

I remember this from one of John Ciardi’s columns long ago — said to be the response of a suburban nudist to a neighbor complaining that his wife was getting annoyed:

“Named undenominationally rebel, I rile Beryl? La, no! I tan! I’m, O Ned, nude, man!”

Maybe not the most brilliant ever, but any palindrome that uses a word as long as “undenominationally” deserves credit just for that.

why do i even read comments…maybe bc I think there may be a horse hiding in all the poo?

Weird Al Yankovic has a nice all-palindrome song “Bob”, a style parody of Bob Dylan.

BOB

I, man, am regal a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I’m Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see God?
“Do nine men interpret?” “Nine men,” I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won’t lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa’s a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?

Ah Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No “x” in “Nixon”
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
“Naomi”, I moan
“A Toyota’s a Toyota”
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

Oh, no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies — run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog

If a computer made a palindrome it would look something like this:
00110110001100000111111000011111100000110001101100

You know what, I somehow prefer Damien Martin’s

Thanks for sharing informations.Looking forward to more stuff.

This is a good post,Thanks!I can learn so much palindrome word.Very interesting!

demetri martin is hilarios did u know he was nominated for an emmy!!!!! hes a genuis

good poem

Jockeying for discounted merchandise may intensify this year as rising unemployment makes consumers more desperate for bargains and retailers make more aggressive markdowns to spur sales.

Good post, collection, thank you for sharing Keep up!

Just a pedantic point that I think needs to be made…
Why do so many sites say this is 224 words?
It is 222 words.

I guess they’re counting “dammit” as two words?
In that case, it should be 225 – not 224 – as Goddam should be two words as well.

That said, I think it’s wonderful.

My palindrome has 4500+ words and growing rapidly. See it at http://erinmasterson.zxq.net/palindrome2.php
