Words That Make Sense in Reverse Too! Bad news for a dyslexic, 'cause s/he's got no clue if s/he read the word correctly or not, as opposed to a palindrome (i.e., no mistake possible, cf. "Dyslexic's Delight") or a word that's plain gibberish in reverse (i.e., clearly wrong). Also see "Japanese Style".

    You forgot flow/wolf! (If your name is Eve, Bob, Hannah, Anna, Ava, Elle, Iggi, Lil, Otto, or Viv Wolf, I've noticed, it forms in reverse the lovely Flow Eve, Bob, Hannah, Anna, Ava, Elle, Iggi, Lil, Otto, or Viv, respectively.)

    sionnach, that was beautiful.

    I have tried all my life to come up with an original palindrome, and the best I can do involves a sailor hurling an invective at a channel marker that he accidentally scraped against his boat's hull:

    You buoy!!

    Then there's the Jewish gangsta who tries to get the attention of a person he thinks is a homey but turns out to be from a rival gang:

    Yo! Oy!

    A poem for oroboros:

    SENILE FELINES
    (a poem, of sorts)


    Senile felines!
    Solo gigolos!

    Was it a bat I saw?
    Was it a cat I saw?
    Was it a rat I saw?

    Wontons? Not now.
    Rat-star.
    Race fast, safe car.
    Do not start at rats to nod.
    Rat-star.

    Wontons? Not now.
    No lemons. No melon.

    Race fast, safe car.
