Limericks with a twist!!!!!

I was in a creative mood and I wanted to try something new.So I wrote these limericks, but it has a hidden twist too. Read them first(dont look for any logical or grammatical mistakes in any of the limericks plzz, it was written just for fun)

There once was a bloke named Kyle.
All he did was Poke and SMile.
He KNelt for Fives,
And Wangled his STRives.
In short, he was quite senile.

There once was a Booker from Hay,
Who liked everyone Great to STay.
With Tagging Shies,
she`d get PRude for the Nice,
Her service was pleasure, they say.

There was a Monkey from a Juvie,
Was shady yet looked kinda groovy.
If you wonder why,
He always was high,
Trade letters and replay the movie.

Obviously, the limericks themselves make enough sense, but there is a reason I have written it in this way........Manipulating the texts in some way will give you a second clearer meaning to the following texts.....try figuring it out

Hint: I love spoons!!!





Answer:
If you have given up figuring out what the hidden meaning is, check this out(see the examples):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoonerism
Now try reading all the limericks once again :)
I call these poems Spoonericks!!! a cross between spoonerisms and limericks with both ways making enough sense.....I dont think anyone has done this before, so its my creation!!! :D
Anyway,I have shown the places where the changes must be made by writing those letters in the upper case(capital letters). Please ignore the capitals in the start of every line, that is not part of the spoonerisms.
Enjoy!!!

If you`ve still not got what I`m trying to say, Ill show you what the first limerick should look like:

There once was a bloke named Kyle
All he did was SMoke and Pile
He Felt for KNives
And STRangled his Wives
In short, he was quite senile

As you can see, i have swapped the syllables(in capitals) like "Poke and SMile" to "SMoke and Pile" and so on,and the limerick made sense both ways.....this is a Spoonerick :)

Do the rest for the other limericks...and if you do get the other two post it up as a comment to this entry for the others who still dont get it!!
If you have your own spoonericks, plzz feel free to post it as a reply too :)
plz do comment!!

Ciao
