I've always enjoyed a good spoonerism

Now in case ya don't know what that is,
you basically reverse a few vowels
and/or consonants in a sentence.
In other words, wordplay.

Here's three good examples according
to ol' reliable Wikipedia:

"Three cheers for our queer old dean!"
(dear old queen, referring to Queen Victoria)

"The Lord is a shoving leopard." (a loving shepherd)

"Is it kisstomary to cuss the bride?" (customary to kiss)


One variation on a spoonerism is to reverse words.
(I'm not as think as you drunk I am) 

After downing a few at various local watering holes,
I used to enjoy the looks on people's faces
whenever I would cross my eyes
and with slurred speech yell out,
"Tarbender .... Bore Meer !!! "



The legendary Archie Campbell of Hee Haw fame used to do
entire monologues,classic childrens stories and
nursery rhymes using spoonerisms.
It made for some pretty funny stuff like "Rindercella"
and my personal fave, "The Pee Little Thrigs"
(I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll hoe your blouse in)



Aerosmith once recorded an album called "Night in the Ruts"
It was actually a spoonerism for Right in the Nuts.
( I wasn't aware of that fact until Wiki told me)

Also, thanks to Wiki, I'm now aware of
an Australian bluegrass band
with a very clever name, The Pheasant Pluckers


The band, Lords of Acid did an album they called "Farstucker"
and I'm sure we've all heard terms like bass ackwards
and nucking futs.

Well ..... you get the idea. smiley: wink

Anyway .... Here's my spoonerism for the day
and I confess I said all that to say this:



Thee thrings I learly dove:
A diff strink, tig bitties and cunning stunts smiley: happy
