Rededication

The student wasn't doing well, his grades were really bad! His father looked him in the eye, and said, "son, dammit I'm mad"! "You have such great potential, it's a shame to see you fail! If you rededicate yourself, I know you will prevail"! So he changed his study habits, and to himself, avowed, to attain a higher level, and make his parents proud! So he had to change his attitude, to accomplish such a deed, and with the faith his parents showed in him, he was able to succeed! Palindromes: Eye Dammit, I'm mad level deed by - Ralph Taylor
