Parze pleedon me
In the 1930s and 1940s, F. Chase Taylor – under his pseudonym of Colonel Stoopnagle – produced dozens of spoonerism fairytales which appeared. The originals were printed in the Saturday Evening Post and eventually published in a collection. The book is now out of print,but some of the stories are on Fun with Words, including:
Prinderella and the Cince,The Pea Little Thrigs and Beeping Sleauty
That's not the version of Cinderella that I remember from my childhood. The morning kids' radio show always played a reading of "Rindercella" in which she slopped her dripper. According to google it was read and written by Archie Campbell (the link has a link to an mp3, too).
Sorry, Smedley..but the reference in "Beeping Sleauty" to "Spritney Brears and Rulia Joberts" tells me this may not be from the 1930's...
hmmmm..
but, fun nevertheless.... thanks.
Didn't Henny Bill do summat like this?

Spoonerisms are alive and well today as a staple of the Capitol Steps.
