			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="imageleft" src="http://static.neatorama.com/misscellania/150palindrome.jpg" alt="" />A palindrome is a word or a phrase which is the same when read from the start or the end, for example the word <em>wow</em> or <em>racecar</em>. Or how about the phrase; <em>A Toyota&#8217;s a Toyota.</em> where ever you start they are the same.</p>
<p>You would imagine a palindrome is pretty hard to think up, maybe the odd word could be easy enough, and with a bit of effort a phrase, well how about a 224 word poem? here&#8217;s</p>

<blockquote cite="http://www.slate.com/id/2101150/sidebar/2101387/ent/2101353/"><p><em>Dammit I&#8217;m mad.<br />
Evil is a deed as I live.<br />
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.<br />
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.<br />
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?<br />
Man, it is hot. I&#8217;m in it. I tell.<br />
I am not a devil. I level &#8220;Mad Dog&#8221;.<br />
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,<br />
In my halo of a mired rum tin.<br />
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.<br />
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?<br />
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.<br />
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.<br />
Be still if I fill its ebb.<br />
Ew, a spider… eh?<br />
We sleep. Oh no!<br />
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.<br />
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.<br />
Both, one… my names are in it.<br />
Murder? I&#8217;m a fool.<br />
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,<br />
A Goddam level I lived at.<br />
On mail let it in. I&#8217;m it.<br />
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!<br />
A loss it is alas (sip). I&#8217;d assign it a name.<br />
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:<br />
&#8220;Sir, I deliver. I&#8217;m a dog&#8221;<br />
Evil is a deed as I live.<br />
Dammit I&#8217;m mad.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I promise you, bar some punctuation, it reads the same forwards or backwards.</p>
