What do 5/1/15, 5/10/15, 5/11/15, 5/12/15, 5/13/15, 5/14/15, 5/15/15, 5/16/15, 5/17/15, 5/18/15, and 5/19/15 all have in common? They are palindrome dates, the same forwards and backwards. Jon Agee has written 4 very funny books featuring palindromes. The illustrations are as funny as the palindromes. Herewith is a selection from SIT ON A POTATO PAN, OTIS! More Palindromes:
NO WAY A PAPAYA WON!
TRAPEZE PART
SPOT, IS PEPSI TOPS?
REVILE LIVER!
LEE HAS A RACECAR AS A HEEL
STEP ON NO PETS
SOME MEN INTERPRET NINE MEMOS
NAIVE WAS I ERE I SAW EVIAN
A MAN, A PLAN, A CAT, A BAR, A CAP, A MALL, A BALL, A MAP, A CAR, A BAT, A CANAL; PANAMA
You get the idea. Palindromes were chosen for todays quote of the day because SLL was too lazy to dig up something profound, but Agee’s palindromes are profoundly clever. SLL leaves you with a final question: DO GEESE SEE GOD?
