Subject: ADD: Winter Rides Again (Ursula Wadey)
Below the line,
Rose,
Mudcatter John MacKenzie
went to the
"Winter Is Here" thread and posted

a perfectly hilarious ode to winter by,
did he say Ursula Wadey?
It's thick with Spoonerisms
to make it even funnier,
and called "Spooner Rides Again."
It ought to be here, upstairs!!

Well keberoxu, you may regret your comments, as here is the full ouevre, written by my late lamented friend Ursula Wadey.

SPOONER DIDES AGAIN
(Ursula Wadey)

Winter's here with bracks and mollies,
Fist and mog on ricey woads,
Up the hills the litter grollies
Speak to shred their useful loads
Flannel cherries seem uncertain'
Guaging rails have caused delay,
Turn the heat up, draw the curtains,
Home, sweet home is best today.

Slow and sneat and poggy fatches,
Rip your deadlights, choose your yolk,
Torn out wire too often catches,
Winning spiels can be no joke,
Do you KNOW your schooling kissed 'em?
Haughty noses sometimes drip;
Puggish slump and slapping piston,
Might succumb to Arctic nip.

Take your breasts and brave a shakedown,
Watch for letter when it's wit.
Lift your killer flap with caution'
Bums from pobs might score a hit.
Fullidge Wherry closed this morning,
Billy Visity is poor,
Par Cark's full, I give due warning'
Do take care to dock your lore.

As for windscreen bosher wattles,
You may find these friends to tea,
While, alas, the normal throttles,
Don't respond to tots of pee.
You may meet the treason's stubble'
Only if your rules are tight'
Let your diligence rebubble;
Day in stores, you'll be all right.
