In the absence of a correct computer password, Alexandra Quick attempted to compose a doggerel verse in order to unlock her parents' computer: I need to chat, so let me log in, Give me the password so I can begin Because Alex tried to use magic on an electronic device, the computer shorted out: the "screen turned blue and then the machine rattled, fizzled, and died." "The computer would not restart, though it seemed to tremble every time she put her hands on the power switch or the keyboard." This verse may also be considered a variation on Alex's Unlocking verses.
