To mark our arrival in the Sandbox, here is a palindrome about that fine place----or rather about the place that inspired it.

A palindrome is a little world all to itself, with a beginning and an end and nothing either side. (It's interesting what Wikipedia has to say about its history.)

To give an idea of how these things work (at least in my case), for this one I took the words <sand>, <box>, <Weimaraner>, <piano> and <Louie> (Banana featured in an earlier palindrome; Louie was quite enough trouble to reverse!). Take <piano>, which reverses as <onaip>. This can best (or maybe only) be divided into <ona> and <ip>. Then <ona> becomes <Mona> and <ip> becomes <Ipanema>. The added "anema" conveniently reverses in its entirety as <Amen, a> but to accommodate the <M>of <Mona> after <piano> means adding <o> to make <MO>, the code for Missouri. That <O> is easily tacked on at the opposite end. So far, so good...

> O Mona, Ipanema's gargantuan "O" grades. U.S. idyll as sand in a box of tense Weimaraner nuts (ed.).  "Dog-nip?" "Si, Louie amigo dog. I'm a-e-i-u-o lisping." Oddest? "Un renar', ami." Ewes net fox (Oban). I'd nasally disused Argonaut nag-rags. Amen, a piano (MO) <

Thanx, John. Most instructive & inspirational! My own take goes straight into the 'HAIKUDROME' and the 'original sandbox'

And now a word of advice: know when to abandon a palindrome as a hopeless task. Foolishly, I set out to incorporate the innocent-looking words <Beautiful>, <Dreamer>, <Wake>, <Brian>, <Douglas> and <Wilson> in a palindrome. It took several nations (Ancient Rome, Italy, Greece, China, Japan, Finland and the US (Texas)) and real-life personalities (Toni Tennille, Li Wei, Ulysses Owens, Titus Aebutius, Dui Daiju and, obliquely, Paul Erdős) to get this sorry mess in place:

> Tennille/Brian won wad on Mykonos (Li Wei, Fuji). A Douglas rodeo wake: extrema Erdo sum (sui tu). "Beautiful" (U. Owens) new Oulu (FI). Tu, Aebutius, muso dreamer (TX). Eek! A woe dorsal. Guo Daiju: "Fie, Wilson!" O Kym, no dawn----own airbell in net <

How do you think I feel? LOL

Actually, for the reader it's quite simple. The thing should read the same from right to left as it does from left to right. (Or rather the letters should, otherwise you wouldn't get further than "Dennis sinned" or "Able was I ere I saw Elba".) That's all the reader needs to know----not that that makes it any easier to construct...

Between the 50'ish Beach Boys-related palindromes made so far, not a single one has the actual "America's Band" name spelled out!? Well, I know there's an answer :D (and this one mentions BRI and a Great Danish storyteller!:

           >and B.B.' dna:<                          {a BEACH BOYS' haiku-drome by SMiLErPal'dromerBoy}


           ->A SURE dna?

BEACH BOYS' ? Yo!  B** = H.C.A.!
         ^
       E-Band =  er....  U*S*A<-


Beach Boys signed with the 3 big record corporations back then: CAPITOL/E.M.I., WARNER Bros (Reprise) & COLUMBIA (CBS/Caribou). But the members soon enough found, they've gotten themselves into RAW deals - while the rec. execs found the BB members to be a RAW LOT! [Mini-RENga by SMiLErPal'dromerBoy:]

          ->O.k.: CAPITOL,

WARNER, (o' COL.) ? Loco!! [ren**]

        Raw lot, I pack - O'!<-

John, I see you've got the FI and the FIE but what of the FO? (allegedly, Beanstalk is Brian's fave fairytale!). Now, I'M FUMbling ...

There's a "foe" in a previous BB palindrome of mine but no "fum". But you've just taken care of that, so that's okay.

That mini-renga of yours is nothing but the truth----a "raw lot" indeed. Grin

And now the Touring Band (and a whole host of hapless hangers-on) gets saddled with yet another wacky john k palindrome:

> 'Tis Ike (BMW) as star Tim Le Bonhomme, normal gnus. I, Mike, curb fff  (E. James) or lemonade serac. O Gaël, retrace. I draw Derek/Cowsill at Totten event (no merfolk). Lo! Fremont (NE) Venet to T. Tallis, W. Ocker, Edward I, E. Carter, Leago (CA Reseda... no! Melrose MA), Jeff F., Bruce, Kim I. Sung (LA, Mr. one mm). Oh noble M.I.T.! Rats saw Mbeki sit <
