    Not sure if it's the answer you're looking for but....
    If you take the first letter away from each word, what's left in each case, is a palindrome.
    Am I getting warm?

      I think you are more than warm Trunky - that sure looks like the correct answer.

            OK then:
            Make a four word sentence.
            The first 2 words are the same and the last 2 words are the same,

            That is not a sentence Redstar and the last two words are not different to the first two.
