            THANKSGIVING

          by Jack Prelutsky

  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 out of control
  I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure
  and thought with chagrin as I mopped
  that I'd never again stuff a turkey
  with popcorn that hadn't been popped.
