Oh who was it I saw, oh who?

A conversation the other night at with Sir Corithius of Crystal Court (over bowling and beers at Legends Lounge) went something like this:

Sir Corithius: Do you know what I love? Palindromes.
Sir Bowie: My niece is named Hannah.
Sir Corithius: Did Hannah say as Hannah did?

Which begs me to ask: Why isn’t the name of the word that describes words that can be spelled the same front and back, not spelled the same front and back?


Dammit, I'm mad!
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?

No devil lived on.
Devil never even lived.

Do geese see God?
Dogma: I am God.
God saw I was dog.
Is it I? It is I!
I saw I was I.
Swap God for a janitor, rot in a jar of dog paws.
Swap for a pair of paws?
A dog! A panic in a pagoda!
Dog, as a devil deified, lived as a god.

Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Was it a rat I saw?
Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?
Oh who was it I saw, oh who?

Dammit, I'm mad!
