From The Enigma

The key words in this flat, MATISSE and MONET, can be filled in with two Spoonerisms.

In antique shops I love to browse
And look at urns and bells for cows
And copper coins and bric-a-brac......
But buy? I can't. (Big bucks I lack.)

Then, there it was - a quaint
   MATISSE!
Oh, what a conversation piece!
'Twould brighten up my living room
(And surely complement the loom).

Then Al, the smiling salesman, came
And said, "Now it would be a shame
To leave it there - you know you love it!
Something all your friends would covet!"

"It's quite high-priced. I must say no."
"Oh, what a shame to let it go!
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do:
I'll throw in coupons (one or two)

Worth twenty bucks. You can't refuse!"
I had the feeling I would lose
This battle due to Al's MONET.
My lovely find's now on display.
