Palindromes back-
Words like pal and lap,
Or pan and nap,
Or par and rap,
Or pat and tap...
Each pair a semordnilap.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

  1. Who's the genius that decided not to make the word palindrome a palindrome.

    I say from now on we call a palindrome, a palinnilap.
