Lots of pun! Enjoyable to solve.

Thanks, Adam and Telly and Jewel. Spoonerisms are named after William Archibald Spooner, a professor who often muddled his words. The background is rather humorous. Lake a took:

fun: I still catch myself saying childhood spoonies like "stip lick" or "dull bozer".

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Haha! I must have some kind of brain problem, because once I read your comment about Spoonerisms, I said "What Spoonerism?" and scrolled up to reread the title. I hadn't even registered that the letters had been switched :)

Great puzzle. Very elegant for such a small size.

And I agree with dogmom. I'm partial to "belly jeans" myself :)

Thanks, BlackCat.

I also didn't notice the Spoonerism. I read the title as "Table Lamp" and didn't notice the letters were switched until I read the description.

Nice puzzle.

Thanks, Jan. Funny how the brain works. :-)

Elegant an apt description of this puzzle. The flower-patterned shade and wrought-iron-looking stand combine to create just that feeling for me. Thanks once again Teresa!

Glad you liked it, JoDeen.

fun puzzle

although you have to be careful when doing that with a name like "fuddruckers" (a restaurant which has great food by the way)
haha
