TO FILL A CAVITY;

 TO CRAM FULL

AS IN

TO STUFF THE TURKEY;

IF YOU OVERSTUFF

IT SPLITS THE SKIN

AND IT POPS BACK OUT

OOZING DOWN THE OUTSIDE.

WHAT A MESS IT MAKES,

WE STUFF OUR FEELINGS

UNTIL WE CAN HOLD THEM

INSIDE NO MORE

AND THEY POP OUT.

NOT A PRETTY SIGHT,

BUT THE PRESSURE

HAS BEEN RELEASED

AND WE ARE NO LONGER

FULL OF STUFF.
