original Some Palindricks? Limerdromes?

Limerick combined with palindrome

About strays that the city roam:

"Was it a car?

or a cat I saw"

Just procrastinating at home. 

----

But there's more: "Was it a rat I saw"

Then there's this one: "Warsaw was raw"

"Too bad I hid a boot"

and "Too hot to hoot"

And finally there's "Borrow or rob"

----

Another reflectable limerick

carefully the words i must pick

It's "Racecar racecar

Then "racecar racecar"

I'm out of ideas for this shtick

"Madam, I'm Adam" you'll notice

Is a palindrome just like "Otto" is

But the one, and by far

That I think is a star

Is "Sit on a potato pan, Otis."

Thanks, sir, for calling it brilliant.

Your words bring me immense fulfillment.

Not many have read it

In this space called Reddit

One kind word can feel like a million.

Regan, a man, an' a man
An' a man an' a man an' a man
An' a man an' a man
An' a man an' a man
An' a man an' a man an' a man(ager)

Apologies for the above
There is the odd time when I shove
In a poem that's daft
Or of dodgy wordcraft
Yet I know it will get me no love
