Dick Spoonerry


There once was a lad from Dogberry
Who dropped malaprops riding the fairy
      From Calais to Dover —
      Cunning linguists rolled over
Laughing "There goes our Dick Spoonerry!"

    I live in Dover and can see the coast near Calais from my window, so this amusing limerick hit home. :-)

    Thanks!
