Palindromes

Seeing one of the new lessons on this site about palindromes reminds me of a fun song by Weird Al where the lyrics are entirely palindromes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnJdxUwF1Wg

Bob - Named after Bob Dylan, the tune is Subterranean Homesick Blues

Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot

Too bad I hid a boot

Lisa Bonnet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw

Rise to vote, Sir
Do geese see God?

I think, each other are learning a lot. Because each one has different knowledge and different interests. Thus the different cultures due because we live in different countries. Besides, we have the passion to learn this beautiful language, all languages are beautiful but this one, at this moment, is the more important in the world, No, no, the best is always our mother language, so, besides the passion we have the envy to speak with other people. So doing that, learning from them is mandatory.
