I have had a long, secret love affair with Palindromes; a word or phrase that reads the same backwards and forwards...I recently got a calender full of them at an art show. Illustrated by Beth Nixon. Here's a few examples...
"Sh! Tom sees moths."
"Poor Dan is in a droop."
"May a moody baby doom a yam?"
One of my favorites..."Do Geese see God?"
Then, there's Spoonerisms...( an "accidental" transposition of initial consonants in a pair of words.)
A poem "Runny's Big Romance" From Shel Silverstein's book Runny Babbit.
"Runny had a firlgriend,
Her name was Sunny Bue.
He called her nots of licknames,
Like "Kitchy-Itchy-Koo."
Sometimes he called her "Boney-Hun,"
And sometimes "Dovey Lear,"
But he only called her "Peety-Swie"
When no one else could hear."
How's about a grossly paraphrased quote by Dr. Suess,
"Be who you are. For those who matter don't mind, and those who mind, don't matter."
And another, said by my 20 year old nephew Michael. A philosophizer, wise beyond his years...
"Don't try to hard if it's not returned."
OK<>enough lessons for today. Peace.
