I've taken spoonerisms one step farther so that instead of a simple swap of elements (consonant, syllable, etc.) there is a complete permutation of at least three elements. Here's one of my creation that would be considered a feghoot:
An adventurer had heard that there was a sacred shrine constructed entirely of a very rare and valuable wood from
a tree that had long been extinct. When he found a map that gave the location of this shrine, he immediately set out in his seaplane to find this shrine in bowels of a largely uninhabited region far up the Amazon River. After days of searching he finally found the remains of this shrine and was able to strap two timbers of the building to the pontoons of his plane. Unbeknownst to him those beams were home to small rodents that were carriers of a fatal malady. As the plane took off several of these creatures climbed up into the plane and gently bit him on the legs, but so subtly that he did not notice. Soon after he arrived back in civilization he was struck with horrible pain all over his body and soon passed away. The moral of this story: He that flies around with logs soon dies of disease.
