�Don�t panic� said Valerie, �It�s just switching on. Just listen and you�ll hear The sounds are all gone. But now, here�s the question, A terrible thought- How do we work it ? We�ve never been taught.� �What shall we do ?� Said Veronica sadly, �This really is going so terribly badly. |

And all of a sudden, A great puff of smoke Came from under the table And made them all choke. And they knew as they picked Themselves up from the floor, That they didn�t know anything More than before. �I know� said Vera, �If we want to learn fast, Let�s read the instructions, Let�s give it a blast.� �What an idea,� They all agreed And then they sat quietly By the window to read. |

�A computer�, said Val, �With printer as well, And a note saying, �Now you can type out your spells, Instead of you having to use pen and ink, You can now print them neatly Before you can blink�. �Let�s turn it on then And see what is does.� So they pushed the green button And heard a loud buzz, A whirring and beeping, A blue flashing light, It really did give them A most awful fright. �It�s exploding� screamed Vera From under the chair, �It will blow us to Heavens And Goodness knows where. Quick, over here, Before it goes boom And makes an enormous Great mess of this room. |

The only thing left That will make it go well, We will just have to cast A quick learning spell.� So they huddled together And danced on their knees, �Till the dust rose around them And made them all sneeze. Then they sang and they chanted �Till it got really spooky, Brickety-Brackety Gobbledy-Gooky |

A short while later They were ready to go, To type out a spell, That would make them all know How to use this machine Just to type out a spell, Would it work ? Would it happen? They never could tell. Vera then started to type in a letter, The words were appearing, That really was better. It wasn�t a long while Until she was done, �Well now� said Vera, �That really was fun�. |
