A classic spoonerism

He might be all in stiches blaughing Or sadly shmadly shaking his head but sead now it's srue if ya probably do like one of phose . . . and I'm glad ya didn't get layed you might have been embarrassed.

Hi Jess A neat poem, saying exactly what you want to say in very few words. Very good workmanship. And it amuses, wryly :). The various forms of "lie" in English are rather troublesome. I suggest that "layed" here is not the most common and accepted form of the word in this context. Care to explore it a bit? Regards De Waal

Just as well my friend you didnt get laid - this made me smile! Great spoonerism! Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

And might I suggest you place an as before a hippy. Or should that be hippie, perhaps? Methinks hippy is usually an adjective ascribing that attribute to someone wearing disproportionately too large hips. But then at the moment I'm sans dictionary; it's an odd oversight for me. But before you might foolhardily dare to act on this here advisory, do remember, I caution you, that free advice often/usually has no value. Thanx (as usual), Chuck

I only have one genuine 'Spooner' moment. I cannot for the life of me say 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' Each time, unless I halt and leave a space after each word, it comes out of my mouth as ... Kenchicky Tried Fucken. My kids thought it was hilarious [I didn't usually swear in thir presence] and used every means n their power to get me to say it - especially if we had guests. The little buggers succeeded all too often! Thanks O Chuckle-Master Mike photo: me, late 20s / early 30s - with 'face furniture version 1'

omg - you are sooooo funny!!!!! I'm sitting here, alone, 1 am, laughing. thanks :) donna

Never bolted down spoonerisms but I dig this write. In ink, dabbler

Another poet from "down under". I think over half of you Aussies must be poets. I got a real laugh out of this poem. Thanks for that. I enjoyed reading and trying to figure out what the words were. I think I did a pretty good job for an old gal. You are talented. Have a very great holiday season. Pat

What a creative piece of poetry! What made you quit surfing, then?

although it has been covered here, why you changed "laid" to "layed" ... I have always seen the slang term as "laid." Once again I find myself wondering about the subject matter within this comment and it makes me laugh. Best, Ronda

Smiles:) Barbara Never know what you gonna write next I to say some tongue twister things. Can't say the word poem in a conversation without saying porn. And this is not the worse. Great write as usual.
