This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content. In the main most books will have gone through the editing process however some may not. We therefore suggest that you be aware of this before ordering this book. If in doubt check either the author or publisher’s details as we are unable to accept any returns unless they are faulty. Please contact us if you have any questions.

This wildly unorthodox book mixes original Spoonerism couplets with explanatory or crazy comments or stories, aimed at entertaining both wordplay nuts and ordinary mortals. Like Anil's last four books (self-published but all Award Winners) it is an exercise in the use of constrained writing, with themes dictated by the spooner constraints. More than a gimmick, the constraints generate silly, amusing or unusual situations that he lacks the imagination to create de novo. The result is crazy fun. Yet it's scholarly, seen in the big Spoonerism Dictionary at the end. Examples: synonyms: Achilles heel = hock-kill-ease ail. Here and now = Near? And how! antonyms: Bury the hatchet. ? Hurry the bad shit. Harmony ? Mar honey. essays: Free society-so see variety. Meet your Maker... Mate, you're meeker! Money numby.
