Default palindromes

Words, sentences, poems, DNA, music, dates, etc. that read/sound the same forwards and backwards.

I´ve always liked these, my favorite being the Roosevelt one:
A man, a plan, a canal. Panama.

I only know a few in Spanish--luz azul, ojo rojo.

anyone know any other good ones?

Hola Justin, hay un montón, pero aquí unos cuantos:

Allí si María avisa y así va a ir a mi silla. (HG)
Anita lava la tina. (Popular en México)
Átale, demoníaco Caín, o me delata. (de Julio Cortázar)
Dábale arroz a la zorra el abad. (tal vez uno de los más populares)
La ruta nos aportó otro paso natural.
Nada, yo soy Adán. (Guillermo Cabrera Infante)
No lata, no: la totalidad arada dilato talón a talón. (Juan Filloy)

Me gusta este (todos vistos en Wiki)

Madam, in Eden I'm Adam

Default And a palindromic poem by Demetri Martin

Dammit I’m mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I’m a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash.
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I’m it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name.N
ame not one bottle minus an ode by me:
“Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog”
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I’m mad.
