124: spoonerism: a speech error in which the first letters of two adjacent or close words are switched—as “I hiss your mystery class” (from Rev. William Archibald Spooner, 1844–1930, Anglican clergyman and educator, dean and warden of New College, Oxford; first known use, 1892)

He is a spoonerism man—

Though unintentional, of course.

I guess he does the best he can—

But still I laugh till I am hoarse.

One day, I guess, he’ll tire of me—

And when I laugh, he’ll start a race—

And off we’ll go (so brilliantly)—

He’ll catch me; then he’ll funch my pace.
