Spazy Croonerisms 15
A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?
1) bed item and grape beverage & a tree and a tree
2) stony headwear & rodent puck handler
3) locomotive accident & a wading bird's garbage
4) a prim and proper man from Stockholm & a sugary necessity
