Spoonerism Day

Today is the birthday of William A. Spooner

He’d be older now, but he wasn’t born sooner

Of course he’s best known for reversing some letters

(Perhaps he’s lest known for reversing some betters)

Regardless, this leads to a day that’s quite strange

When the letters in words or the sounds rearrange

All morning you might be a lazy old slouch

While you’re chipping through flannels sprawled out on your couch

At lunchtime you could keys and parrots devour

And then to get ready you’ll shake a hot tower

But if you get cold while out spying a flyer

Just stop your word botching and go fight a liar

If learning ‘bout jewelry for chess is your speed

Just curl up at home with a good rook to bead

And then in the evening, a hot double date

With a pair of sin twisters who keep you out late

But whether you’re out or you’re safely at home

I hope you’re enjoying my penguistic loam
