butterflies
flutter by
while these bees
just nicpic
at our picnic

a delightfully
wasted time
of fruit and cheese
and tasted wine -
but what happened next
made me sick and ill
and to cheese I say “ick”, even still
for, you see,
unseen by me,
a bird in the tree
dropped a turd in the brie

(a Spoonerism is the swapping of the first letter(s) of two words, like a form of dyslexia, usu. resulting in nonsense, but sometimes creating new words which can still somehow make sense in the context. I had never seen a Spoonerism Poem which actually made sense, so tried one here. I think I might have four Spoonerisms and one that's close) .
