ORANGE
Eating an orange
While making love
Makes for bizarre enj-
Oyment thereof
-Attributed to Tom Lehrer
(only works if you're from the Northeast, I think)
A few more in that spirit:
CHAMBER
The legless Scotman's in my chamber.
You shall know him by his lame burr.
(with "hypallage")
SILVER
With gold and silver
I bought the will of her.
