Though my gray beginnings are not so pretty,
I grow quite well into my beauty.
Alabaster white or black as night,
My grace is known worldwide.
I may make my home in the chilly Arctic,
I’m also known well down under,
From North America to South America I may be known to trumpet.
As a female I may Pen my name,
While the males may prefer to pick at a Cob.
But near or far my beauty is known by lore and by myth.

I often make my home
Inside a glass dome

In my domain, a sound
Is never to be found

But through me, I permit
Any light to transmit

In science articles
Virtual particles

Always annihilate
When “pro-” and “anti-” mate

What force and strength cannot get through,
I with a gentle touch can do.
And many in the street would stand,
were I not a friend at hand.

A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?

1) no-cost fish lures & honey shipment
2) leaping legumes & colliding dungarees
3) crustacean movement & criminal sunscreen
4) baseball term & seasonal pig
