Spoonerism ... What?

Today's word is "spoonerism" ... SPOO-nuh-riz-uh m ... the transposition of usually initial sounds in a pair of words. As in a blushing crow for a crushing blow. (Dictionary.com)

What?
I could have been mistaken,
When I heard the words you said,
Was it a spoonerism,
Or just something in my head?

If I only knew for sure,
Maybe we could be true friends,
But I don't, so I'm afraid,
This will be the end.
