Dog gone gone dog

Radar spelled backwards
Spells Radar
That’s a palindrome
He was a pal alright
a pal at home and everywhere
a palindrome

Spatz
Spelled backwards
Was Ztaps
I think she was German
Or maybe Dutch
She didn’t look like much

just like the dog’s
she may have appeared stuffed
but now they’re in elysian fields
together, smooth, unroughed
and not unluffed
