Yado, trip a tapir today.- Ray N. Franklin (from Cia, So Manic in a Mosaic), © 12:27 08 Jun 2021
The simplest of words can often trigger an original palindrome. Have a nice trip? I did. The Palindrome Composer came through again. Trip reverses to pirt, with a split of pir-t. A handful of words end in pir, including tapir. “Trip tapir t” is not a palindrome, but “trip a tapir t” is. I didn't bother to look through all the words that begin with T. I just chose today and called it good.
No way? O, yaw on!- J.B. Toner, © 10:23 08 Jun 2021
Every day as I’m pulling into the parking lot at work, I pass the same “One Way” sign on my right. Occasionally I think I should yaw to starboard and go tearing down that street in the wrong direction, just to break the shackles of routine. But whenever I think there’s no way to push onward, I take solace in the power and fun of words, and I keep on yawing toward the distant harbor.
Tisk. Compose a story. Rots. Aesop mocks it.- Ray N. Franklin, © 19:17 07 Jun 2021
Since I use the word compose (and its variants) frequently when discussing the Palindromedary, I thought I should try to use it in a palindrome. I chose the esop-moc split because the first thing I noticed was that esop is part of the fabled name Aesop. Putting all that together, I got this: compose a Aesop moc For a while I tried words beginning with moc. The Palindromedary only lists seven and I began with mocha. I was thinking of Aesop composing all night and needing mocha to keep going. Never mind the anachronism. That didn't work out as I expected. The last three words I examined were mock, mocker and mocks. K is often difficult to work into a palindrome, but I got lucky. I tried mocks first. sk compose a Aesop mocks Can you guess what happened next? Aesop mocks it. A predictable result if a newby gave Aesop a fable to critique. The palindrome expanded like this. tisk compose a Aesop mocks it On a whim I tried putting the word story in the middle. To maintain the symmetry, I also added the reverse, leaving out the y: story rots. From there, a bit of punctuation makes it all hang together.
“Di, as A-Rod, traded art,” Dora said.- Lloyd Wood (from Cia, So Manic in a Mosaic), © 13:59 07 Jun 2021
Thinking that she would achieve a more lucrative deal, Dianne disguised herself as a famous baseball player.

Delia’s a no if Fiona sailed.- ercewx, © 13:57 06 Jun 2021
As it turned out and for other reasons unknown, Delia was marked off the list simply because Fiona arrived by boat.
Wow! Elephant? Nah, Pele. Wow!- Ray N. Franklin, © 10:29 05 Jun 2021
Somehow, elephant never seemed like a word that could fit into a palindrome. Nonetheless, one day I typed it into the Palindrome Composer and boom! Reversed, it's tnahpele. I quickly saw the words nah and Pele. Those worked perfectly with elephant. Elephant? Nah, Pele. I added wow to both ends, expressing surprise and implying a loud noise or shaking ground.
Ma, I am all llama. I am!- Timi Imit, © 09:26 04 Jun 2021
The young Camelid, having been curious of his ancestry, informed his mother that the results of his recent DNA test indicated that his bloodline did not include alpaca, as he had once suspected. Marked rejected 7/12/2021 14:54 by rayf, discovered not original

Someone seems a little insecure, though I’m sure the band was loved—and hated—by many.
Evade Dave- Easily created palindrome, discovered by many, © 22:46 30 May 2021
It would have much more sense if the game “Marco Polo” had been given this name instead. Most kids learn something about the Venetian traveller but it seems that not many learn about palindromes.
Tattarrattat. Oo-ha, who is it? Is I. Oh, Wahoo. Tattarrattat.- Ray N. Franklin, © 16:35 30 May 2021
I started out thinking of knock-knock jokes and how to make a palindrome in that theme. I combined James Joyce’s tattarrattat with the question “Who is it?” To me that seemed like a decent simulation of the classic knock-knock joke. After that, it was just a matter of expanding “Oh, W” into something more meaningful. But not by much.
