the words "If I" are the middle point of the palindrome. I mention this because it is also the name of Demetri Martin's comedy special from the Edinburgh Festival which is on Youtube, in its six part glory. I highly recommend it.

Wow! (How else does one respond to a palindrome like that?)
For some reason it reminds me of Dutch Schulz' dying rant.
By the way, the very first conversation consisted entirely of palindromes. Adam wakes up to find Eve beside him, and introduces himself: "Madam, I'm Adam." Eve is kind of shy and just gives her name: "Eve."

To whom may be interested, i think the longer one was made by Georges Perec in french, with 1247 words.
This guy, a crazy genius french writer also wrote a novel without the letter "e", critics at time praise the book without even noticing this "exercice de style"

Evil is a deed as I live.

A "Palin" drome Story
A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same in both directions.
Sarah Palin is known to reverse positions and this leads to a "palin"drome story.
I wrote this story back in Sept.08
-------------------------
Kayak salad: Alaska yak.
Must sell at tallest sum
Did I do, O God, did I as I said I'd do? Good, I did.
Dammit, I'm mad.
Name tarts? No, medieval slave, I demonstrate Man!
Raw was I ere I saw war.
Too far away, a war afoot.
No, I save on final perusal, a sure plan if no evasion.
No panic... I nap on
Oh who was it I saw, oh who?
so McCain: A maniac cmos
Yo! Banana boy!
Yo! Breed deer, boy!
Rot can rob a born actor.
Revered now I live on. O did I do no evil, I wonder ever?
Deny a god, O gay Ned
No, it never propagates if I set a gap or prevention.
No lemon, no melon.
No cab, no tuna nut on bacon.
No desserts, I stressed on
Is it I? It is I
I saw I was I
Too hot to hoot

uhhh...very impressive, except for the not being a palindrome part. Sure, it's spelled the same, but it makes no sense. Computers can make palindromes if you waive the whole "sense" rule. Write a little aimless blank verse and you can say anything. Second rate, though I found a few enjoyable moments.

I remember this from one of John Ciardi's columns long ago -- said to be the response of a suburban nudist to a neighbor complaining that his wife was getting annoyed:
"Named undenominationally rebel, I rile Beryl? La, no! I tan! I'm, O Ned, nude, man!"
Maybe not the most brilliant ever, but any palindrome that uses a word as long as "undenominationally" deserves credit just for that.

Weird Al Yankovic has a nice all-palindrome song "Bob", a style parody of Bob Dylan.
BOB
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?
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 baby doom a yam?
Ah Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi", I moan
"A Toyota's a Toyota"
A dog, a panic in a pagoda
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

Just a pedantic point that I think needs to be made...
Why do so many sites say this is 224 words?
It is 222 words.
I guess they’re counting “dammit” as two words?
In that case, it should be 225 – not 224 – as Goddam should be two words as well.
That said, I think it's wonderful.
