Fun with Palindromes

Writers sometimes use palindromesThis week Silly Saturday was delayed until Sunday (or whatever day it is where you are or when you read this). Thus, I ask what do the following food-related phrases have in common?

No lemons, no melon
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
May a moody baby doom a yam?
Not a banana baton
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

O.K. The "food-related" was a red herring. Yuck! Yuck! The phrases all come from a "song" that Weird Al Yankovich recorded and titled "Bob". If you knew Weird Al, you'll understand that completely. The whole song consists of palindromes, which, if you haven't figured it out by now, are phrases that can be read the same backwards and forwards. It is said that the first one was created when Adam introduced himself to Eve with, "Madam, I'm Adam". Find the entire lyrics at the Seek Lyrics website.
