THE FUN THEY HAD
Tommy found a real book
Tommy and Margie found that books were
Funny to read the words that stood still
Funny how the words on the pages didn't change
A waste because they thought, they had to be thrown away
The book was about
School
Margie hated school
The part Margie hated most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers.
She didn't like her mechanical teacher
Margie wondered why would anyone write about school
He was a round little man with a red face and a whole box of tools with dials and wires
Margie hoped her teacher would be taken away
She always had to write them out in a punch code
This school was different from what Tommy and Margie were used to
This school had
Persons as teachers
Many students in a class
Classes given in a building
Margi's school was different
Her school
Had mechanical teachers
Had personalized classes
Had classes given in a computer
While in her classes she thought how happy kids were with the "old" school
Was the room next to her bedroom
