Probably the most famous palindrome is one of the best. It manages in just seven words to tell an entirely sensible story: “A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!” That is simply inspired. Others that have the virtue of making at least some kind of sense: Norma is as selfless as I am, Ron. Was it Eliot’s toilet I saw? Too far, Edna, we wander afoot. Madam, I’m Adam. Sex at noon taxes. Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era? Able was I ere I saw Elba. Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus. Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
