At a party once Spooner allegedly spilled some salt and poured wine on it.

I just came across this one:

Texaco sponsored broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera on Saturdays back
in the old radio days. The announcer said, "This afternoon we are
fortunate in having the distinguished conductor Antino Toscanuri .. ah,
Anturo Toscaniri. (pause) Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Milton J.
Cross. Please remember it because you won't ever hear it again."

I've a gouse and harden in the country.
An ace I call my plown.
A treat I can replace to.
When I beed to knee alone.
Yes caterfly and butterpillar.
Birch on beefly lough.
And I listen to the dats and cogs.
As they mark and they beow.
Yes wature here is nunderful.
There is no weed for nerds.
While silling by my window flutter,
Biny little tirds.

My all time favorite (because I happened to hear it at the time it was
broadcast):

"... the information that the President would veto the bill is said to
have come from a high white-horse souse."

I didn't hear it (I'm not *quite* that old), but it's pretty
famous:

"The President of the United States, Mr. Hoobert Heever!"

Someplace (I don't recall where) I once heard the story of
Drindercella. Something about how she slopped her dripper.
There was much more but it is fading.

Most (or all?) of the CDs from The Capitol Steps have a track titled
"Lirty Dies", in which someone tells spooneristic stories, usually
about major news stories of the past year. Usually they find a gorny
high to talk about. They may have done tairy fales once.

Socks - One of the stories is "Prinderella and the Cince", included in "Get
Thee to a Punnery" (by Espy?), supposedly written by Stoopnagle (sp?).

I though I remembered Victor Borge doing something like this, but that is a
very faint and uncertain memory.

Socks, I have "Get Thee to a Punnery"; if you wish, I will send you the stole
horey of Prinderella and the Cince.

Best,

Our local renaissance faire includes a Tory Steller who does classic
stories and fables in this vein. But not, and he wants to make this
very clear, not "Robin Hood."

Archie Campbell did that. He was a regular on "Hee Haw" who always
gave the vittles menu. I remember that when the Prandsome Hince tried
the slipper on the had step-bisters, it fidn't dit. I think it ended
with, "If you're ever invited to a Bancy Fall, don't forget to slop
your dripper!"

Socks--Looks like AOL may have put my earlier post in the shredder, so
I am trying through Google. Apologies if I double.

I can easily imagine that Victor Borge did this, but I have a recent
source.

In page 22 of Richard Lederer's "get Thee to a Punnery" he includes
"Prinderella and the Cince, where he repeats this tale: "Twonce upon a
wime there lived a cincess named Prinderella. She lived with her
sticked wep-mother and her sugly isters. They made her pine all the
shots and shans and do all the wirty dirk..." Attributed to a radio
comedian, Colonel Lemuel Stoopnagle, (Frederick Taylor). Date?

It might be a bit of plagiarism, a tale of loose women, but if you
want to read it, I will e-mail you the stole whorey...

Interesting. And totally different from Lederer's quotation of Stoopnagle's tale.

Two authors of defeated plays,
said: "Think of us ill-fated, please.
No showman silver-plated fees
to us, since time long fleeted, pays.
We're just like dissipated fleas,
whom fate with blows repeated flays,
subsisting on deflated peas .....
Help us in our depleted phase!"

Spoonerized poems are very popular in German (called "Schüttelreime" -
"shaken rhymes"). Sorry, that's the only fully English one I know of
(there are a couple of mixes ones) ...
