Write a story whose first and last words are the same.

Author's Note: What I thought about right away was the poetry format for a crab canon. It is known as a musical piece, but I have seen it in poetry. Rhyme or not. An attempt to write the same words but with a slightly different meaning. First written forward and then backward.

Children with Grandchildren were here today

They came to play

With snowmobiles and big smiles

With cute babies and teenagers

Love this time with family

Nothing like it

Sammy's pizza for dinner tonight

Oh, what a bright night on the town

**

Oh, what a bright night on the town

Sammy's pizza for dinner tonight

Nothing like it

Love this time with family

With cute babies and teenagers

With snowmobiles and big smiles

They came to play

Children with grandchildren were here today!
