He would head up an expedition
that would head over to the jungle.
But first he would head for the pub
to head off the expedition guide,
who liked to drink too much but
had no head for it.

Her anger blew up in a flash.

Talk

They talked it over.
He talked her out of windows
and talked her into Linux.
He talked her through the installation in just ten minutes.

Chew

When the cat chewed up the sofa.
she chewed out the cat and
left her something to chew over.
