Palindrome Poem

Otto and Anna Departed at noon. Jumped in their kayak To fly to the moon. The stats were against them; Their radar had failed. They had to refer To their mom, who was jailed. She did her civic duty, Which she’d learned as a madam. Her sagas with both sexes Made her dying to get at ‘em. She sent a note by racecar With caused them both to redden. Her advice? Find a mechanic And do a little beddin’! Palindromes: Otto, Anna, noon, kayak, mom, civic, madam, sagas, sexes racecar, redden. Ilene Bauer For David Williams' Palindrome contest

Hi Ilene - Congratulations on your win with your very funny and imaginative poem! Is your Otto the same Otto as in my poem? If he is, I think he has some explaining to do to Anna and Hannah. LOL. - Gail
