Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age.

"Son, I am able," she said, "'though you scare me." "Watch!" said I, "Beloved, I said watch you scare me." 'Though said she: "Able am I, son."

(Fekeal made me think of that one )

"Son, I am able," she said, "'though you scare me." "Watch!" said I, "Beloved, I said watch you scare me." 'Though said she: "Able am I, son."

(passage highlighted for emphasis...)
Shouldn't that be "me scare you"?

[Dr. Doog]

<_< yes. I am a failure at They Might Be Giants.

[Steve the Pocket]

I, man, am regal; a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam.
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

(harmonica solo)

Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see God?
Do nine men interpret? Nine men, I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody babby doom a yam?

(harmonica solo)

Ah, Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "X" in "Nixon"
Oh, stone, be not so
Oh, Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi" I moan
A Toyota's a Toyota
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

(harmonica solo)

Oh, no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies -- run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees; I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew.
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God, a red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami; I'm a lasagna hog!

[likeafox]

That, sir, is amazing.

[Zaaphod]

Yay, Weird Al!

[Tom Flapwell]

Octan could rightly say, "Now I won."

[CodeCat]

I just checked. It is.

[Tom Flapwell]

The next obvious reaction after "Wow":

WTF FTW

[Dr. Doog]

the thing is: it's a palindrome, but is it a proper sentence? or even a paragraph? or even something that anybody might possibly say?

[Muninn]

People generally don't talk in palindromes anyway.

[Dr. Doog]

okay, but is it sensible? I could see somebody saying "rise to vote, sir." but not saying a long list of assorted nouns"
