I recited this poem for a 4-H Talent show. Thought someone might enjoy it.
The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]The turkey shot out of the oven[/FONT]
[FONT="]and rocketed into the air,[/FONT]
[FONT="]it knocked every plate off the table[/FONT]
[FONT="]and partly demolished a chair.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]It ricocheted into a corner[/FONT]
[FONT="]and burst with a deafening boom,[/FONT]
[FONT="]then splattered all over the kitchen[/FONT]
[FONT="]completely obscuring the room.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]It stuck to the walls and the window[/FONT]
[FONT="]it totally coated the floor,[/FONT]
[FONT="]there was turkey attached to the ceiling,[/FONT]
[FONT="]where there'd never been turkey before.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]It blanketed every appliance,[/FONT]
[FONT="]It smeared every saucer and bowl,[/FONT]
[FONT="]there wasn't a way I could stop it,[/FONT]
[FONT="]that turkey was out of control.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,[/FONT]
[FONT="]and thought with chagrin as I mopped[/FONT]
[FONT="]that I'd never again stuff a turkey[/FONT]
[FONT="]with popcorn that had not been popped!!!!
