She was very angry and tore up

She worked in a scrap dealer's so she broke up

She wanted to make flat rustic table-tops so she sawed up

She wanted to light a fire so she chopped up

She wanted to add flavour so she sliced up

She wanted everyone to have a portion so she carved up

She was a dressmaker so she cut up

She swerved, crashed and smashed up

her boyfriend's love letters

old metal office furniture

the tree-trunk

the fallen branches of the tree

some parsley, onions and carrots

the whole roast chicken

the material

her husband's prized car
