If you want fun with palindromes, listen to "Bob" from Weird Al Yankovic. It's all palindromes performed like Bob Dylan.

Here is a definition of "palindrome", as well as some interesting additional information. link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome
A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of symbols or elements, whose meaning may be interpreted the same way in either forward or reverse direction.[1] Famous examples include "Amore, Roma", "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" and "No 'x' in 'Nixon'". Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word "palindrome" was coined from the Greek roots palin ("again") and dromos ("way, direction") by the English writer Ben Jonson in the 17th century. The Greek phrase to describe the phenomenon is karkinikê epigrafê ("crab inscription"), or simply karkinoi ("crabs"), alluding to the movement of crabs, such as an inscription that may be read backwards.
