To-do list, silo dot
My family had so much to do, I thought that I'd assist,
and so I just sat down and wrote them each a little list.
But strangely, as the lists went on, I could not write a word
without employing palindromes. It's really quite absurd!
MUM
(shopping list):
naan,
taco, cat,
evil olive,
no melons? no lemon!
hmm. Mmh...
yam? I may.
tuna, a nut,
UFO tofu,
dessert (stressed!)
DAD
(jobs):
Run rotor. Nur!
Repaper.
Reward drawer:
eye level. EYE!
Nip rotator pin.
Racecar:
borrow or rob?
Rotavator.
SIS
(homework):
Sagas (English)
Never odd or even (maths)
Draw award (art)
Madam, I'm Adam (R.E.)
Solos (music)
My gym (P.E.)
Kayak (design technology)
Wow!
