JAN 19, poetic Panama palindrome parody: ' ... Ipanema'
Carioca is a long-established nickname for the city and the residents of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Ipanema is a section of that city, known for it's bossa nova music, and for its iconic beach.
As explained in the verse, we have the classic palindrome (reminiscent of the Panama concoction):
Amen, a pit — Ipanema, and its many variants.
Newer variants include: Amen, a pizza, jazz — Ipanema, and
Amen, a piece — Ipanema.
