EXCERPT FROM THE BOGWARTZ PARODY ESCAPE ROOM

Help me! I am in despair.
My homework vanished into thin air.
A curse was cast and wouldn’t you know it.
Now I can only speak like a poet.
I know I wrote it down somewhere,
The antidote to this awful affair.
It can’t have gotten very far
Perhaps it’s in the owl car.
