    Video camera wasn’t working. It was a bummer. Check out our verse:
    You can decorate rooms of all sizes.
    Cool parents can send their kids prizes.
    Catch a charm from the fairy that rises.
    Dress your pet in funky disguises.
    Clicking floaty things brings surprises.
    Visit the clubhouse for exercises.
    Meeting your friends online, energizes.
