Palindromes are our dark friend.
Strange insights read from either end
They sometimes seem devoid of meaning.
Yet their impact comes careening
"In word-salad, alas drown I" - poor brain's lobes;
Nasty strobes -
The Palindromes of Evil.
So, "Evil axis - six alive"
Sends "Delivery reviled"
Message said, "Hades unused, ah!"
I learned, "Ah, Satan sees Natasha"
Advice received, "Bats enliven evil nest, Ab"
"Bats, odd, do stab" -
The Palindromes of Evil.
It "Wets dab noses on bad stew"
"Stack cats"; "We panic in a pew"
People writing, "Nightlife - filth, gin"
"Dennis, Nell, Edna and Ellen sinned"
"Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas"; "Gnu dung"
No one had sung,
"Satan, I prefer piñatas".
"Borrow or rob"; "Di, as I said",
"Hell, eh?"; "Denial slain, Ed"
They hear "No word, no bond; row on"
Please "No lava, not on Avalon"
"Evil Olive"; "Lisa Bonet ate no basil"
(What a hassle!)
"Golf-flog"; "Lived on, no devil"
"Stole lots"; "Rotator" -- folks were stunned;
"No dare - radon" (that was punned)
"Murder for a jar of red rum"
Forming "Model truth: turtledom", and
The sign flashed "Egad! No bondage"
"Yaw bus. Civic subway" - rails,
And "Liar trails
"Re-paper"- Palindromes of Evil.
