A. Read the poem aloud in pairs.

The computer swallowed grandma.

Yes, honestly its true!

She pressed ‘Control’ and ‘Enter’

And disappeared from view.

 

It devoured her completely,

The thought just makes me squirm.

She must have caught a virus

Or been eaten by a worm.

 

I’ve searched through the recycle bin

And files of every kind;

I’ve even used the Internet,

But nothing did I find.

 

In desperation, I asked Jeeves

My searches to refine.
