Allen's word puzzle

I suggest the answer Allen had in mind was that if you take the first letter of each of the words and move it to the back of the word, then it's a palindrome. E.g., banana = ananab. You don't merely "drop" the first letter. I saw that word puzzle make its rounds on the Internet a number of years ago, so it probably has been around much longer than that. Maybe it's gotten new life because of Sarah Palin...drome. Larry
