Shot Out of the Oven

The turkey shot out of the oven

And rocketed into the air.

It knocked every plate off the table

And partly demolished a chair

It ricocheted into a corner

And burst with a deafening boom

Then splattered all over the kitchen

Completely obscuring the room

It stuck to the walls and the windows

It totally coated the floor,

There was turkey attached to the ceiling,

Where there'd never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance

It smeared every saucer and bowl

There wasn't a way I could stop it,

That turkey was outta control.

I scraped and scrubbed with displeasure and

Thought with chagrin as I mopped,

That I'd never again stuff a turkey with popcorn

That hasn't already been popped!
