Lol - but I like "shining wit" - that's so much more clever than what it might be a spoonerism for. That's the thing I object to in rampant obsenities is that it shows such a lack of verbal creativity. Fun limerick, Craig!

I know what you mean, Helen. It ruins a lot of comedy for me, and I'm not exactly "prudish". Thanks for the great review. Craig

that is one of your best words yet, vastly usable. great spoonerism, what is it called when the middle vowel sound is exchanged, e.g. Piece of Cholief? great write, CD.................meeshu

A stuff up? Sorry, Meeshu, I don't know. But I appreciate the fantastic comments :) Cheers, Craig
Comment from Impromptu Scribe
A great example of a spoonerism within a limerick, together with an appropriate speech bubble visual brimming with unmentionable expletives. Congratulations. Best wishes.

Comment from Gloria ....
Everything's not whack and blite so it's a good thing that you took a stand. One can only tolerate that kind of thing for too long before you think they might be alluding to poop, yes? ;-)
Great job, Craig and a fine Limerick to boot.

Hi Craig This brings back pleasant memories. I was a spunky kid with a great imagination. I liked to do spoonerisms! I did not know there was a name for it. I reverse the letters on the first and last names. Like you are rraig cichard. Yours is not the best examples. Lol. I enjoyed your poem. Thank you for sharing

LOL no, it doesn't work out too well with my name, Pam. Perhaps we need to take that up with Tronald Dump ;-)

Good one, Craig. Got my laughter going. But Steve King is Keve Sting no remember now. All consonants up to the first vowel slides over. So you are Raig Crichards.
