With each slide, ﬁnd the verbs.

The turkey shot out of the over an 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 though with chagrin as I mopped that I’d never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn’t been popped. - Jack Prelutsky
