Said the rattlesnake to the spider
I've seen you before
The prey smiled
you've been here a while
Conscience clear
nothing to is to feared he surmised
Said the smiling gateman
I've seen these times before
Cat Burglar agreed
I've been here before
Said the late Man
as he took the key
I'm in now
The Janitor asked
what took your time
Never lost, but doubt
you take it away
Palindrome Quirks
Gateman, has thou seen my nametag
Tips he replied or else upon thy boot I shall spit
Evil doer! Can I not but endure this shame to live
Was it thy dog upon yonder grass I saw?
Rats! Rover has been seen by the clear night’s star
God! Why did I ever get a dog?
Swap thy canine for a bird with no paws
Reviled unto myself I must now deliver
Repaid in full by this dirty diaper
Lived, thou has not until thou hast smelled the devil
Pots with gangly growth have but stop
Spot has urinated upon its tops
Smart would it be for it to leave upon the trams
Warts his master has from the pissed on straw
Adaven, now a ghost town located in Nevada
Stressed were the miners when Millie severed no desserts
