Here's one for the nature-stalkers - what happens when the wildlife does not want its photo taken!
A bear-raising story. :-)

I blame the moon. ;-)
:-D
BTW Ted Hughes' collection from which this comes, Moon Whales, is IMO one of his very best. It's supposedly for children, which I think is just an excuse to be whimsical and hilarious. It's out of print but can be obtained from libraries or secondhand.

Howling at the Moon Thread.
I woke up in the tower
And there the moon, molten silver in a great cauldron,
Was being poured
Through the eye of a needle
Spun onto bobbins and sold to poets
For sewing their eyelids together
So they can sing better.Ted Hughes, from Visiting the Moon

I’m guessing they are probably all in the public domain now
Project Gutenberg has a few.
Edit: Joy!! Have just downloaded the illustrated Kindle version of LBS (from Gutenberg) onto the iPad!!

Turning into Chocolate-butter might be even better?
Think you might need panthers for that! :-)
ETA: for the Apple fanatics.

very un-PC pancakes!
I LOVED that book as a kid. And the part I remember best, definitely the tigers turning into butter!

One of nature’s columnists
Excuse my ignorance, but what is that again?
Damn, now I have to confess my ignorance! And show a more comprehensive view, which I know will make some people snigger. No, it doesn't remind me of anything...

malapropane is a gas….
are you saying I’m a ruff-ian?
Bois will be boisterous….Without wishing to ruffle any feathers, perhaps you are a scaup-ian, a fluffy duck with a sting in its tale…
Buoys will be buoyant. ;-) -
