November8th
A stare-out develops between Mr. Garwe and Tad, since Garwe won’t admit his paternalhood, and he’s still a bit confused about the whole situation.
He loses obviously (everybody knows that younger people are far better at stare-outs) and seems a bit worn out by the ordeal.
A STARE-OUT DEVELOPED, A TRIAL OF MIGHT…
HARD CORE EYEBALLING, LASTED ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT!
AT 5 IN THE MORNING, THE CROCODILE BLINKED
Oh $%&#@!
HE CONCEDED
I now need a drink…
November7th
Tad is a little intimidated, but undaunted… we wait to see what happens next. A Bitterfishtoswallow (a type of fish found in the upper-Zambezi) loitering nearby remains externally unimpressed (although in all actuality, his insides are beginning to dissolve with curiosity, being a typical male-closet-soap-opera-fanatic!)
COULD THIS BE THE END?
My Dad is one scary dude…
BUT TO STOP AT THIS POINT
WOULD BE UN-AFRICAN, AND RUDE!
Give me strength (Bitterfishtoswallow/Peanut Gallery)

Questions that had no answers! So much for a quiet snooze on the river for TerroroftheZambeziwhowilltakeyoutoawaterygrave – which was the name he preferred, but which nobody would call him.
THE KNOBBLY CROC WAS AGOG AND ASTOUNDED
HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE? ON WHAT SCIENCE WAS THIS FOUNDED?
My nostril’s been troubling me since I ate that Namibian
It’s his fault this problem, this virgin birth of Amphibian!
November5th
Suprisingly, Tad managed to hatch out of his/her/it’s egg in the warm confines of the dilligator’s nostril! (I told you stranger things had happened!) … and upon emerging he had lots of questions to put to whomever he spotted first.
BY THE TIME THE OLD CROC HAD FINALLY WOKEN
A YOUNG TADPOHL HAD HATCHED AND CHOSEN TO SPOKEN
Hello there Sir
Why am I here?
Are you my Dad?
Why do you stare?
Where are the others? There were many in my dreams
Have they all gone?
Those were the screams?
November4th
While Tad’s brothers and sisters, and its, are all swept downstream he/she/it gets swept into a snoozing croc’s nostril (or as it transpires, a “Dilligator’s nostril”) … stranger things have happened.
BUT BY SOME QUIRK OF DESTINY, FATE OR BLIND LUCK
A SURVIVOR IS MOVED TO EXCLAIM
“wtf”!
CAUGHT BY AN EDDY AND SWEPT INTO THE NOSE
OF A NEARBY DILLIGATOR HAVING A DOZE
November3rd
More true-life-drama occurs when an oblivious elephant nonchalantly stamps through Tad’s family!
PURVEYORS OF WOE!
